So I’ve previously told you about how my son is currently checking his bum is clean with a shaving mirror. This is proving helpful and problematic all rolled up into one. It does seem to be helping him get clean, but it does involve positioning himself over the shaving mirror and performing some contortions to achieve it. Of course, the problem is that the shaving mirror doesn’t travel around with us. In fact, it’s even a problem at home sometimes, if someone else happens to be using the main bathroom when nature calls him.
So far we’ve had the shaving mirror moved out of the bathroom and downstairs because I was running a bath. My husband was occupying the bathroom the other day and we had to press a wall mirror (that we’d taken down) into action. So we squeeze this quite large mirror with an ornamental frame into the downstairs loo (which isn’t generous in size) and then J has to balance on the edges (avoiding the mirror class) to do his clean up operation.
I suppose I could let him have a handbag style mirror (I have a few kicking around), but these might be too small to do the job. Plus, he can’t continue like this indefinitely can he? Tips appreciated.
