Tubby Time

The last few hours before daddy comes home from work can be almost unbearable. You can only clean up so many potty accidents, poopy diapers and juice spills before you desperately need some relief. It is these times that I live for bath time. When my toddler and I need a break from each other, the tub always provides great relief. I add a few bubbles and some toys and my children play for hours. At times I have sat outside the bathroom door with my laptop (especially when they were really little) or I put the baby monitor in the bathroom and tell them to say, "Mommy...I need help" when they need something.

Today my son played in the tub for two hours. It brings a smile to my face to hear him discovering his voice with noises that sound something like a mix of singing and yelling while crashing his boats into the water.
