I was cleaning the living room and suddenly I heard wailing from the kids bathroom. K runs out clearly distressed with wet hands.
Picture a sobbing 3 year old telling this story.
“I don’t ba-weeve it! I just don’t ba-weeve dis! Buzz is gone!”
“What happened?”
“Buzz flushed down the toilet!”
“Your little Buzz Lightyear?”
“Yes!! I don’t ba-weeve it. He’s goooooone!!!”
“Why was Buzz in the toilet?”
“He flew in there and I flushed it. I don’t ba-weeve it!”
“Why did you flush him?”
“Because I tried to catch him but he was goooone!”
“You flushed it and then tried to catch him? You stuck your hands in the potty?”
“Yes, but I missed him and he’s gone! I don’t ba-weeve it!”
We scrubbed down his hands and had a long conversation about what goes in the toilet and what doesn’t. Later I caught him talking to his toy…
“Hi Power Ranger Guy. I will play with you because you are a toy. I won’t flush you down the toilet because you aren’t pee. I promise.”
He cracks me up. It was heart breaking and hilarious at the same time. It was a very small action figure but I refused to flush that toilet again until Andy was home. I wasn’t taking any chances on Buzz bringing back unspeakable horrors from the beyond.
Thank you all for being patient with me this week. My grandma is in the hospital. E is teething. The internet is having issues. We have practices and family events out the wazoo. We are working on cabinets for the “Old House”. I’m also making almost all our gifts at home this year. I promise I’ll catch up on reading all your amazing blogs soon! Here are a few pictures from the past couple weeks…

Great story. good luck to Power Ranger guy.
I hope your grandmother will be ok.
She has a severe kidney infection and got super dehydrated. We’re hoping they’ll release her Friday. She has a rare blood disorder, so they are being cautious.
Caution is good. I hope she is home for the holidays.
hope your grandmother is ok. super cute post
Thank you!

That is sad. I’m so sorry. I’ll pray for your dad. She should be home soon. Hoping she is home before my uncle comes in from Oregon this Tuesday.
