Family Bath Time

Bath time around here is no private matter. In fact, it's the opposite. The kids think nothing of tearing their clothes off the minute they hear the shower or bathtub running, even if the bath is NOT for them!

Maybe this is my fault because I often would take a bath with them when they were babies. It was easier to clean a slippery, wiggly little body when I was physically in the tub as well. Maybe they just instinctively remember those days and want to continue the memories?

I gave Hudson his bath this evening (I was not in the tub with him), and then it was Evan's turn for a shower. They used to bathe together, but then Evan turned four and decided that he was grown up enough to take a shower. Eric usually sits in the bathroom supervising, but not helping...because Evan can do it by HIMSELF!!! (Evan's words, not mine.) However, this didn't stop the rest of the family from joining in the fun in the smallest bathroom around.


I know Eric is sitting on the toilet, but I swear he is fully clothed and just watching Evan in the shower! Hudson's bath was over, but he still had to be a part of the bathroom action. Apparently Mac T needed some attention as well. It's a grand old party in there!


Hudson was also playing with a light saber. Perfect toy to play with in a tiny bathroom. There's absolutely no chance of poking someone's eye out!


Hmmm. Maybe he does mind having his private bath time invaded!


This is Hudson's excited face. It's also the expression he makes when he knows he did something wrong, but he thinks he's getting away with it. Whatever the reason, it always makes me smile.
