Entry FeedLast night I insisted the kids have a bath to start the week off clean. I tried to insist that they have a bath Sunday afternoon so that they would be clean for their birthday parties, but the weather was so nice they all wanted to play outside.
I never got into the bath every night routine. Mostly because my kids all love LONG baths. They play until the water is cold and the bubbles are gone. Last night we started the bath at 6:00 pm.
Daughter still had stamps on her arms from Thursday's dance class, so I knew it had been a few days since I had gotten her clean. She HATES having her hair washed, so it adds extra joy to bath time.
I had the two youngest in the bath, and I left to go and throw their dirty clothes in the hamper. When I returned the shower curtain was drawn. I peeked around and was informed that they wanted "privacy" to play "doctor".
Take a deep breath. Count to three. Try to remember what Today's Parent said about this. Completely normal. Don't make a big deal. Privates are private. Maybe at 5 and 3 brother and sister are getting too old to bathe together. Stay calm.
Peeking again, I noticed the two with their heads bent over the wash puppets floating on my bath pillow.
"What are you guys going?"
"Operating on the mommy frog. We are taking the baby out of her belly. Now the baby needs milk."
Oh. So they are pretending to be surgeons. YEAH!
