But he did it at school. He actually has always disappeared into the little stalls in the classroom to turn on the water and flush the toilet to provide a little white noise to dampen the sound of the other kids when it was just too much. Lately though his fixation is the toilet and plumbing. Our local (middle of nowhere!) library had quite a few books on plumbing and toilets-how stuff and homes work, even in the kids section. Of course, now the teachers find him in the stall at school with the tank lid off- identifying the functional parts. There is even a virtual flushing toilet, to show the mechanism, online... Thankfully though, we only had the paper-towels (almost a whole roll!) in toilet happen once-and at school they did the same thing- Alex had to clean it up...Fingers crossed that Alex(ours) just maintains an interest and doesn't start trying other household objects!
