potty party.



I think my kids have superpowers. They can be happily playing in one of their rooms but, the moment I step foot in my bathroom, they appear out of nowhere eager to keep me company. I'm constantly shoo-ing them out, but then the crying and whining begins (with little fingers and toes darting under the door). I have surrendered to a life of no privacy. I have an audience whenever I take a shower, a protégé when I'm putting on my makeup, and entertainment when I'm... well, you know. Wesley gets into the most trouble in the bathroom. He has completely unrolled a roll of toilet paper, splashed and soaked himself with toilet water, and pried open a bottle of Vicks VapoRub and greased down the tub. In order to compartmentalize Wesley from his usual bathroom curiosities, I stick him in the shower, shut the door, and playtime ensues. Glass shower doors are terrific for peek-a-boo, playing open and close, and funny faces... even Carly gets in on the act. It's always a party during potty-time at our house.

Okay, I guess I'm confusing people when I say that my kids have superpowers... what I mean is they have this sixth sense and they ALWAYS know when I'm going to be in the bathroom... for whatever reason.
