Tips for Working Mothers #1

#1 Occasionally have an all out, bathroom-soaking, have-to-get-a-dry-towel-when-you're-done-water fight during bath time.

Seriously, why not? You're bathroom floor always gets drenched anyways during the 60 second intervals you turn your back to process the laundry and pack the diaper bag...no matter how many times you give the "Keep the water in the tub!" lecture. I guarantee the absolutely hysterical laughter that will ensue from BOTH of you will be entirely worth it. The extra 2 or 3 towels it takes to mop up that night will be worth the precious memory and 10 minutes of stress relief you just found. The #1 rule to make this activity a success is that you make sure you drench your child with just as much fervor as they get you. Trust me, they can handle it!!! :)

I would have posted a picture, but I didn't dare bring the camera anywhere near the bathroom during or following this new found event.

Maybe when Titus is no longer hydrophobic I can try this out...or maybe I can keep this idea tucked away for when Damaris is older...it does sound like lots of fun...and a great stress reliever :)
