What is it about boys an the Porcelain throne?  Seriously, what is it?  I’m a guy, and still I don’t know.  I understand the whole taking a magazine into the bathroom thing now, finally, after having children.  It’s called “peace and quiet”, and one of the very, very few times I’m not being asked to do something.

But the boys – it’s not like they even use the toilet, but it seems to hold some odd fascination for them.  They’re enthralled with playing in the bathroom.  Sometimes I’ll find their trucks stuck in the bathroom corner.  Othertimes they’ll have gotten at he toilet paper.  And  the basket Katie used to use for storing extra rolls of toilet paper, we’ll find it randomly stashed somewhere in the house.  They’ll squeal with delight when they’re playing in their, slam their hands on the top of the toilet, giggle at each other, and for all intents and purposes hold a rave in our bathroom.  It’s just odd.

On an altogether seperate note, does anyone have any specific suggestions for rain suits for toddlers?  I’m leaning toward these (http://www.amazon.com/Tuffo-Muddy-Buddy-Overalls-Toddler/dp/B001AHXAUY/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&s=baby-products&qid=1258955586&sr=1-3).  I figure overalls are better then separate pants and jackets – less likely for water to get in, and just less stuff to manage.  Also, it’s pretty much the only pair of overalls I can find for sale in the US.  There are the Togz (http://www.adventurebaby.co.uk/togz-all-in-one-rainsuit-toddler-1220-0.html) and Regatta (http://www.waterproofworld.co.uk/toddlers.htm) suits for sale in the UK, but I can’t find them anywhere in our wayward colony.  We have the boots, I just figure life will go a little easier if we can put them in a dry suit.  Especially Dexter, since he’s not a big fan of physical discomfort.  Anyone have any ideas?
