Everyone tubs differently...

In our house, as I am sure many other families' homes, bathtime is quite an event. We choose to bathe all 3 at once usually & it can either be fun & entertaining, or rather a "chore" if you get my drift. Struggles, pushing, dupming of water on heads, etc. But for the sake of making our family look "perfect"...








Sorry, needed a moment to compose myself from that good laugh ;)

Anyway, I'll keep it to the more entertaining end of things.


There's the "Who can hoard the most toys" game



The "footsy" game (not so much a game, as something entertaining to do)


The "big hair" game.


and the ever-fun "faaht" game. I won't mention who is the reigning champ of this game! :P

But don't get me wrong, it's a child. Shoot. I could take lessons!

Learning to speak/understand. A Sophism

So, last night was bath night. The whole gang, Miles, Dane, & Sophie, all got in the tub post-massacre of their dinners. Towards the end, my back was turned, but I heard the unmistakable sound of bubbles being blown from between clenched cheeks. I whipped around to see who the guilty culprit was, but the moment had "blown" past too quickly.

Thinking it was Miles, as he has been forcing the point lately for his & others' entertainment, I asked laughingly aloud "Who's blowing bubbles in the tub?!"

Now, a quick aside to educate everyone on why what happened, happened... We have been practicing asking things like, "Who wants dinner?" or "Who wants to brush their teeth?" to help get Dane & Sophie into the action & become aware of questions. We usually get enthusiastic "Me!"s or "Yea!"s. This is a good & entertaining response for us, generally.

So, after my asking who was bubbling in the tub, both of Sophie's hands shoot up into the air with a loud & proud, "ME!"

Now, I know it was Miles, & he confirmed that, but you have to love her little spirit! :)
