I think I've documented our bath/shower time struggles periodically. We've gotten a lot of "whhhhhyyyyyy do I have to take a shower?" and "but I hate showers!" and even a bunch of "showers are stupid" (take THAT, showers!). We've gotten "But so-and-so says her mom says you shouldn't take showers every day". I guess we've gotten a bit of everything.
But with the new paint job/decorating in the kids' bathroom, Amy doesn't protest anymore. Hallelujah! And Reed has come to accept his showering fate and just takes a shower when he's supposed to. Miracle!
And then this happened last week...the kids had gone to the pool with the babysitter (more on that later), so Reed showered after that. Then when Tod came home, he set Reed up for mowing the lawn (and more on that another time, too). When Reed finished, he came back in and said "Now I have to take another shower!" and...he did! Two showers in one day, neither one 'forced'! I nearly fell over when he said he was taking a second shower.
Edited to add....just a minute after I posted this, Reed got in the shower for the second time that day - I guess that makes it a trend?
(And please for the sake of my sanity, don't mention what might be going on in the shower other than getting clean!)
