The Little Things in Life


Commercial photograph, not our bathroom

Sometimes it's the little things in life that bring a big smile to one's face! Today we bought the Bemis Next Step toilet seat for our downstairs toilet. I was so excited that I actually danced around the house and sang a song.

This seat has a built-in smaller seat for children, so one no longer needs a separate children's potty (like the Baby Bjorn we've been using) or an insert. A long time ago, John had willingly used an insert, but one time he and the insert fell into the toilet and he was so distressed that he'd never used it since. Keeping a children's potty clean is such a hassle that I'm really excited to have this new seat in which both kids (they've already tried it out!) feel totally secure and safe.

For big families that have many small bottoms over the years, I think this toilet seat would be so useful!

  2. Very nice! We still haven't tried ours out yet - Teresa has a huge toilet phobia right now. I think she got freaked out by an automatic flusher in some public restroom (maybe even church - they're so loud and unruly!). Ha ha - I just called a toilet unruly. ;)

  3. Gasp! What a fantastic idea!! Our guest bath is so small that finding room for even a tiny child's potty is difficult as is storing a removable seat. Very clever indeed!
