A Bad Day for Sleeping Beauty!

Abby's most prized toys right now are her little princess dolls (that stand about 4 inches tall). They have dresses that can be changed along with little shoes that inevitebly get lost. For the past month, Abby has rarely been seen without at least one princess in her hands. A few days ago, after Abby went potty, Sleeping Beauty (wearing a purple dress at the time), was dropped in the toilet mid-flush. There were instant tears as Sleeping Beauty disappeared with the swirling water. A very distraught Abigail told me several times that "Sleeping Beauty is not safe anymore!" She was right, but the toilet wasn't safe either! About 30 minutes later, Coley received a phone call at work from me giving him the choice of buying a "snake" for the toilet and trying to take care of the problem himself or having me call a plumber. He chose to give it a try first.... It wasn't easy, but Coley did fix the problem. Abigail is much more cautious about flushing toilets these days! As for Sleeping Beauty, Maleficent's spell was no match for the damage done by a little girl learning to use the big-girl potty!
