Sometimes They Just Appear
So tonight on my commute home I was stewing over some ideas for tonight’s blog post. Everything sucked, I was blank. So as I was bathing the children as I have done for 99% of all baths my girls have ever had. The other 1% were because I was sick or because grandma was here. I hate that I missed those when I was sick and I will never get in grandma’s way.
Tonight though, that all changed quite quickly.
So tonight was pretty typical. Washing had completed and I laid down on the floor with my crackberry poker, or in tonight’s case, some last.fm on my iPhone. I listen to the playtime and often I participate in whatever the game of the night is, usually the stick up alphabet.
Anywhoo, I had just finished drying and dressing the boss and had returned to the tub for the bear. Only something was wrong, she was cowering a little in the corner and had this strange look on her face. As I looked down, I shouted as I found this…
See what I found? Nope? Perhaps let me spell it for you without the Sesame tinted water and those bath time letters. That’s not a moon or a space station.
Yep, however least she waited until after the bath and the other kid was gone. However scrubbing the tub after was not very much fun. Nor was just getting the magic bean out of it.

Um. So what, like that’s never happened before? What do you mean not at least once a week until potty training success took place? You DON’T have an industrial sized bottle of MR Clean specifically for the bathtub because of it?
Poor you

I’m thinking the in the bathtub and in solid form are both not too terrible. I appreciated the spelling lesson, though, and I’m glad I don’t have to be responsible for the removal or cleaning just because ick.

Hey there. Found you at cheaper than therapy and I love this post. My 6 year old went through a phase when she was 2. Everytime she got into the tub she would poop. It never failed…every SINGLE time….for 6 months! Thank goodness she grew out of that!
Gald to see I am not the only one!
