The tub is one of the few times I can actually get a picture of all of my kids at one time. I just have to crop out parts!
They really do have fun in the tub. We take baths roughly every other night, sometimes more in the winter time. I realize that seems strange, as they are not physically as dirty in the winter, but since it is dark out, we sometimes just need something to do in the evening.
Z doesn't normally take baths with the little boys, but wants to every once in awhile. I feel like it is that Shel Silverstein poem Crowded Tub:
There's too many kids in this tub.
There's too many elbows to scrub.
I just washed a behind
That I'm sure wasn't mine,
There's too many kids in this tub.
I have just enough time to wash hair and bodies, then rinse, then get faces before I need to shut off the water because the tub is too full. We have quite the routine down. After baths we brush teeth and are working on going pee. C and N will pee when I ask them to (on the towel on the floor), so just tonight I had Z demonstate proper peeing technique, and I let the little boys try on the potty. No one went, they just went on the towel again, but that is fine. I have no plans to potty train until the end of next summer. But they might as well get it in their heads.
this post cracked me up...from the poem, to zach's demonstration to peeing on the towel...love it!
