I haven't been home much lately and since quality time with the kids has been hard to come by, they have started showering with me again. This is fine, it lightens Dave's load in the evenings, and it allows me to continue to teach them very important life lessons.
Life Lesson with Jake:
EWWWWW Gross Mommy!
What?!?
Look at all that hair on your privates!
When you grow up like Daddy you will have hair on your privates too.
Yuck! No, I won't. I'll cut it all off.

Life Lesson with OliviaWe are in the shower and she announces she has to go potty and we are in a big time crunch.....
oh yes I did....
Just pee in the shower. Stand over the drain and just go.
I can do that?
Just in the shower.
OK!!
After further consideration of my actions, I thought I better follow up....
You know you can't poop in the shower right?
Right, cause that would be yucky...
Well, peeing in the shower is pretty yucky too, but we are in s big hurry and I didn't want you to slip and fall. There are times you just gotta do what you gotta do. You know you still can't pee in the bathtub, or pool ever, ever right?
YEP!
Okay....cool.

So, maybe those weren't the best life lessons I've ever given.....

*whistling while slinking away...*
you are the best momma eva!!! I am using your parenting handbook for sure!!
Some life lessons are pretty darn funny. Thanks for sharing!
Those were great life lessons! :)
Maybe not the best, but definitely a couple of the most practical and important!!!
I think Jake will more than likely change his mind. I think. Just like I think Parker will change his mind about his "I'm going to live with you forever!" exclamations.
As for Olivia’s lesson – it’s a very practical and useful one. Besides, I think I read somewhere that peeing in the shower kills athletes foot germs – very useful for those public-shower-with-no-shower-shoes situations – if you are so inclined. But I'm not going to bother to google it. I'll just assume it is true. In case I'm in a public shower with no shower shoes! :-)
way funny - that would make a good 'Not Me Monday' post.
My life lesson on peeing in the shower came from ......... a boyfriend in college ....... and I am not going to go into anymore detail.
Hahaha!!! Such is the life of a mama! ;)
Believe it or not, I've never peed in the shower before.
Am I missing out on something important?
haha...very valuable life lessons! :)

Awesome! We actually (true story) just had a conversation at my house last weekend about peeing in the shower stall. :)
OMG!! Too funny. You must've been taking notes from me!
HILARIOUS!!!!
Ah the conversations you never realized you'd have when you were pregnant and folding little onsies. heehee.
Too funny!
too funny
I loved showering with Kendall (we still do, now and then, given that we have two heads in the master bath. We've had some of our best conversations/lessons/laughs in there. (and yes, sometimes, we've peed in the shower.)
Oh my gosh...I am peeing now...and not even in the shower!
