my latest compromise

bathtime has been challenging. our latest two fits of rage have been around this event. i lured my sugar loving baby in the tub with none other than a spoon of marshmellow cream tonight. she could not have been more willing and happy to oblidge...

some may think this isn't too bright. we could go in circles about bribing and sugar and, and, and....but i have a (fairly) calm, clean child right now. and i am loving that.

Sometimes you just do what you gotta do!

The last 3 months of my pregnancy I had to quit giving the boys baths at ALL. (So Jason did it). They would both scream, jump, and flop IN the tub. Complete recipe for disaster. I wish I'd thought of food.

WEll, sometimes you just do what you gotta do to get thru the day--

I am lucky that everyone around here LOVES the tub--

Getting fingernails clipped and taking naps are another thing altogether--

We also have hideous fights over eating certain things (I am NOT one to cook three different meals for three different kids--You eat what Daddy makes, PERIOD)

hang in there--Four has been the worst so far (with the little ones). I am hoping that My Sam gets over Four pretty soon. . .or else I shall ship him to Australia!
