Obviously, from the title, you may not want to read this post. I, however, just find these TOO typical of my life that I can't omit the stories.
Rhyle is using the restroom the other day while I'm helping Livia dress and Owen is combing his hair (or so I thought).
"Mom! Come quick!" Owen calls frantically as he runs to me.
"What?" I ask, not moving. (What could really be wrong, I wonder? I know exactly where each child is and no one is crying.)
"Rhyle dropped your watch in the potty!"
Yes, he did. My wonderful new Christmas watch from Aunt Cara. It's waterproof, so that was okay. "Was he having doo-doos?" I ask.
Yes, he was. "Well," I said calmly. "Rhyle will just have to get it out and wash it off, then."
And this is why I love my boys. My statement didn't phase them at all. In fact, they thought it totally reasonable (which I think it was, though I was NOT going to put MY hand in there. I had also decided that if they gave me a hard time it was just going to wait until Braden got home.) I didn't hear any complaints or surprise about it- and a few seconds later there was a sink full of soapy water, and my retrieved watch, in the bathroom.
This very morning we were all in the bathroom brushing teeth. (I know, I know. I have a lot of bathroom stories. I'm sorry! This is just my life! When you have 3 children age 5 and under you spend a LOT of time in the bathroom together!!)
Rhyle can't reach the sink yet, so Braden has made the allowance that he can spit his toothpaste in the potty. Fine with me, but don't TOUCH anything, please!
So Rhyle had the lids up and was brushing and spitting. Owen was brushing. I was brushing. . . and I turned around in time to see LIVIA. . . with her head almost completely inside the toilet. I'm not totally sure, but I think what I saw was her spitting, and then DIPPING her toothbrush in the potty. . . Oh! Things get weirder and weirder! This is the same child that I caught licking the toilet bowl brush before. . .
Yuck. It's just gross. That's all I have to say about this.
