Mom VS. Elmo potty

I cannot decide whether the non-flush kid toilets are a good idea or just a giant germ carnival.....

I do have to say its nice for the kids to be comfortable while they are "working".....but the clean up...OUCH.....goes something like this

1) Happily encourage child to pee or poop2) Celebration of said poop or pee
3) Re-dressing of child and replacement of any garments that got "wet" during the process
4) Mom turns to face the Elmo potty....
Here's where it gets interesting....
Level 1--Pee
1) Dump in potty...rinse in sink
2) Repeat
3) Replace receptacle in Elmo's head

Level 2-- Poop..AKA Squirming Worms
1) Sigh heavily as you look at the mound of poop in the potty
2) Try your best to "dump" poop out....fingers crossed it comes out in one big plop...
3) Rinse...hoping the POWER of the water will excavate the sticky poop that is left from the bottom of that large plastic cup (essentially)
4) Dump...
5) Rinse....(repeat of step 4)
6) Dump...
7) Rinse..
8) Dump...still hoping it will look clean enough to quit...
9) Finally resort to using a giant wad of toilet paper to wipe the remaining do do off the plastic...
10) Rinse...
11) Repeat...
12) Sigh....leave to find your nearly 3 year old pouring his own glass of milk from a full gallon jug into a teacup...

Live to dump another day.....Thanks Elmo.....
