Well it was bound to happen, I guess. My son just dropped a toy in the toilet and it has disappeared. I cannot bring myself to reach in there. I tried putting a spoon in there and I can't seem to reach the toy. Oh please tell me there's another way. I cannot reach in there. I'm so grossed out. UGH!

There is something that is called a mini snake that I got at Lowes. It is a flexible cord wrapped in siver wire with a claw at the end of it. This is exactly what I bought it for! Actually it was a paci lol. The handle has gripps that you squeeze to open the claw at the bottom. Very easy to use and I think it was around $10

An update: My DH reached in last night. I just couldn't bring myself to do it! Good to know about that thingy, cbm! I'll keep that in mind next time. And, at the very least, I should have a pair of rubber gloves in the house. Yuck.

Glad you got it out. I'm sure eventually Will is going to do that too, since he's so fascinated with the toilet.

Recently, my friend's 3 year old daughter put a ton of TP in the toilet and proceed to flush it over and over till it over flowed all over the place. When my friend caught her and asked why she did it she said, "Mama, I'm just a kid!"

And I can remember when my little brother was around Will or Jack's age and had just recently been potty trained. He used to insist on flushing his underwear down the toilet. If mom and dad didn't catch him in time, down the toilet they went!

So, I'm just waiting for some sort of gross toilet related accident.... yuck!
