Bathing with a three year old...

Pros:
Thorough back washing

Cons:
Toys
Splashing
Comments about my big bum, sometimes resulting in, "Oh. my. gosh. mom look at the size of your butt..." (reminiscent of Sir Mix-a-Lot).
Sacrificing a nice hot bath, because said three year old likes cold water.
Gagging because said three year old drinks the bath water.
Tacking on another 30 minutes to the bath.
Discussions on why dad wears his underwear in the tub, and mommy doesn't.
Puddles on the floor, because someone likes to run to their room to get bathtub toys.

Now, where to find a back scrubber?

Oh katy, you are too funny! How did you teach Ellie to do a thorough back wash? My kids are no where near that talented.

By the way....Natty LOVES the apron. She was SO excited to call Ellie and say thanks which I think is totally unfair...you did all of the work and Ellie gets all of the credit! :P

Thanks so much!!

Your so funny! I totally want to sew tomorrow, I have to work at the legacy center until 10:30 a.m. I'm sure we wouldn't do it before then anyway, but just letting you know! How much material do I need? I am excited!
Did you invite Megan? That will be fun!

You are friggin hilarious! My kids--well, mainly my 3 year old, is too "interested" in my "junk" so they're banned from bath time with Mom...they hate being locked out of the bathroom and my bedroom...

How cute, Ellie looks adorable in her apron! I am jealous, I want one! I wish I could have taken that class with you guys. My grandma made me one YEARS ago, and I love it! I would love another one. So maybe one day...we could get together us 4, or however many and have our own sewing class? What do you think?

That tofu was hilarious! I have never had it, I think it is white andjiggly right? YUK!

bathing is never fun especially with two rug rats! They splash so much! Your blog is super cute and you are so creative.
I think I remember looking at your blog and you had the blog book. How do you order that? So super cute!
