November 7, 2002 - Thursday
It has begun. Jeremy has become curious about the toilet and, if Harry was a guide, is almost certain to become obsessed by it. He's been around the toilet before, curiously cruising around its funny shape and playing with the baby-hand-sized caps that cover the screws that hold the toilet to the floor (they were a favorite of Harry's, too). But today, he wiggled the handle enough to make it flush. I wasn't in the bathroom at that moment, but just outside in our closet, and came in to see a surprised little boy still with one hand on the handle. I must have smiled, because his look of concern quickly gave way to more rattling on the handle hoping for another go. I picked him up and took him away, hoping to delay the inevitable for another few days.
