We got him to stop now but for a while it was flush flush flush...and this is the old toilets too. Not the new eco ones I'll be buying.
That made me LOL when I imagined how I'd be crawling the walls The Wife and I are set on giving a good example - turn the lights off when the room is empty, don't flush after every single pee, etc. - and if the kid will be anything like us, then he will be eco-terrorizing us before we know it!
