Tubby Time with Slippery, Pee'er and Drinker

It's been ages since I blogged. Rather than rewind, I'm moving forward...

I gave the boys baths tonight. Typically, Shaun showers but lately he's been wanting to hop in with the Littles during their bath. That ended up as a big, wet disaster so tonight he was demoted back to the shower. I could hear a bunch of banging around while I was reading to the Littles and when I finally couldn't stand not-knowing any longer, asked Shaun what he was doing. Well, he had figured out that if he lubed himself up with enough body wash he could slip and slide in the tub like nobody's business. He's lucky he didn't crack his head open! I'm sure he used half the bottle of body wash and now there's a sliminess on the inside of the shower curtain from his excessive self-cleaning. But he sure smells good!

Before Shaun got his shower, the Littles had their bath time. We have these old bubble bath bottles we keep in the toy basket for the boys to use during bath time. Normally they'll fill them up and giggle as the bottles gurgle and sputter when turned over. Tonight Kyle was gulping water out of them. I'm not talking any minor sippage, either. He had his whole mouth over the opening and was chugging like a college freshman at his first frosh party. I'm positive he's going to need a diaper change in the middle of the night after all that drinking. Ian wasn't drinking, thankfully, because he's no longer wearing a diaper to bed (YAY!!), but he was peeing in the tub like he was in kidney failure! The kid would stand up every couple of minutes and pee, and it wasn't no trickle. One time he got Kyle in the face right as Kyle tipped his head back to gulp out of the bottle. Good think Kyle had no idea it was anything but water and Ian was so distracted I don't think he even noticed. It's so funny that he still feels like he has to stand in the tub to pee like he stands at the toilet. I'd prefer that he strictly limit his peeing to the toilet but I've gotta pick my battles. Until Kyle starts to get grossed out by it, I'm not sayin' anything. Just wait until Ian realizes Kyle's peeing in the same tub!
