I just injured myself from laughing too much.

Alas, I realized I can’t even fit a shelf and have the door operational unless I take down the towel bar or have the shelf like 8’ high 
like, this is a box with a toilet and a small sink/vanity. The cupboard is short and filled with (2) rolls of TP and (1) tiny trash can, and secured by magnetic lock that is grandparent proof as well as baby proof no matter how many times we’ve explained it

Replace towel bar with a “plunger bar” (plunger held up by two hooks”.
Rehang towel. Plunger available when not serving as unique decor and towel bar.
Yes, clever AND classy.
I will leave myself out now.

Stick the plunger to the ceiling?

It’s like a 12’ ceiling lol. The room is much taller than it is wide. It’s kinda weird to be in actually.
Clearly I need a plunger pulley system.

Actually, you could skip the hooks and just stick the plunger’ aka towel bar to the wall. Height adjustable as toddler grows.

(I tried to take a picture of the bathroom but A: I’m in all the photos and B: I would need to stitch together like 6 weird angle photos to even give a vague sense of the space. I gave up when Latte ate some toilet paper while I wasn’t watching)

I would be mortified trying to figure out what to do with the plunger after use… Hmm it’s still dripping does she really want me to put it back in these hooks? If it’s hanging from the ceiling is it going to drip on the next person?

You’ll be happy to know that given the current track record of repairs that need to happen on the house versus repairs that have happened on the house, there is an approximately 15 year time horizon before a plunger would be mounted anywhere.

Then I won’t suggest a cutout between the studs with a matching cabinet door, which I was going to do. There’s a commercial version with removable liner for washing.

Cross stich hanging on the wall that says “go to upstairs bathroom and look under the sink [or whatever] for plunger”?

I vote this.
Not because of the inconvenience of having the plunger on the sink, but the risk of motivated toddler who grows quickly.
My toddler is able to reach things that I don’t understand how he is physically able to reach. That - or he grew overnight and I didn’t notice. I also walked into my bathroom the other day to find all the toilet paper unspooled on the ground. We had a 3:1 adult:toddler ratio that morning and that still happened, so solidarity.

Ours goes and gets himself a stool. Beware a toddler carrying a stool because he has a plan. And nothing good can come if it.

I am endlessly amused.
I think that my toddler touches things that yours isn’t allowed to, because I have to share a home and pick my battles.
I say on the sink for a few weeks, then mortify mil a new way

A financial question!
We’re planning to flying across the US to see Husband’s family for the first time in almost 3 years this Christmas. I’m expecting tickets to be $$$$, and I think we’ll need to buy 3 tickets since my toddler will 2.
I’m thinking of applying for the chase sapphire preferred to earn points to offset at least some of the cost. Is that the best one to go for?
I don’t expect to do much plane traveling otherwise this year.

This conversation is delightful and I have nothing useful to add.
Kiddo has picked up the phrase “I have a plan!” as a way to confidently imply we should do whatever he’s about to explain and every single time in my head I’m like “That’s not as reassuring as you think it is.”

Oh god that’s a point. So far the stool is only located upstairs, but once she puts together that chairs move between rooms😱

Touching would be less of a worry if it weren’t for the continuous licking and eating factors.
