TP in the house

While the rest of the family is gone, I get to work with Alice on her toilet paper habits. At least (unlike the boys at that age) convincing her to use toilet paper hasn’t been very difficult. Putting it in the toilet afterwards, that’s not quite penetrated. Part of the problem stems from Alice not wanting to close the door when she’s on the potty and (relatedly) tending to hang out near the door when she’s wiping (just as she does for dressing, and brushing her teeth — apparently for Alice rooms only exist in order to create doorways in which things are done). Our progress to date is to have the used toilet paper mostly confined to the bathroom and not extended out in to the hall, even if that means sometimes discovering a good sized pile hidden behind the door. Little steps …

P.S. Of course, Polynomial likes the debris which helps it spread so it’s not entirely Alice’s fault.
