One step forward two flushes back......

I have been trying to get Trey to go potty by himself. He seems to think that things won't function unless I am right there. I haven't got overly strict on the going potty alone thing yet because I am still thrilled that he has graduated to the "big boy underpants" (his words, not mine).
So, I was nursing the baby and Trey decided he needed to go to the bathroom. And without even whining he went alone. I was very impressed and praised him like crazy when he came back to the living room. Later that day he was playing and got that deer in headlights look (I've learned this look means he needs to get to the nearest toilet-FAST!) He ran as fast as his toddler legs would take him to the bathroom. I was impressed again. Twice in one day....nice.
Then Trey came running back in to the living room saying,"Mommy, come see the toilet paper!!!" Now I was scared. The toilet paper?? What has he done to the toilet paper?? I didn't have to wait long to find out. In route to the bathroom Trey continued to tell me about it. (In a very excited voice). "I peed on it! I peed on it!"
And yes, he had.........

But not before he had unrolled the entire roll of paper into the toilet. There was so much toilet paper in the bowl that it was actually coming out of the water at me!
Trey didn't understand my dismay and found it odd that I was trying to fish all of the paper out of the toilet. I did get him to promise never to do that again.
The toddler mind...........(I just can't seem to finish that thought!)
