Don’t forget your bottom

If you live in a home where you have the luxury of the bathroom to yourself, count yourself lucky. Enjoy the peace. I’m not joking. Most parents {of human or fur babies} will know what I’m talking about, but anyone who doesn’t may wonder why on earth my post today is titled as it is.

Rarely I make the rookie mistake of not showering before Bubba is out of bed. This morning was one of those occasions. So, once everyone else in the house was fed, cuddled, brushed and dressed – and they were all happily playing – I took the opportunity to have a 3 minute shower.ย How I thought I’d do that alone, I’m not sure.

The peanut gallery. At the shower door.

don't forget

Today we had something new though: narrative. Wash your arms mumma. Wash your legs mumma. Wash your face mumma. Wash your belly.

I’ve been bathing for long enough that I’mย fairlyย sure I’ve got it down to a fine art by now. Then the clanger …

Mumma … don’t forget your bottom!

    Paaaaahaaaaaa! My goodness, what a gallery. I used to get freaked out when George the cat’s head would appear ’round the shower curtain. At least you had your reminders to wash everywhere should you feel the pressure of showering with an audience and succumb to stage fright!

    Goodness me, I haven’t checked in for such a long time and look at the size of your bubba! She looks so grown up, especially with her little back pack on. Just beautiful. ๐Ÿ˜€

    1. I think she grows while I’m not looking, it’s crazy – she’s such the little lady these days. Stage fright did cross my mind at one point. It is a little disconcerting bathing with 6 eyes watching you! ๐Ÿ™‚
