Happy Day

Bath Time!

For the record, Caleb hates water. Since he was a wee little thing. Always and forever the sight of water causes hands flailing, mouth screaming and scratches. Followed by a naked hiney pulling up and trying to escape. I have dreaded the weekly( I know not enough) bath time. Usually the dirt and smell out weight the completely unpleasant episode and the nurse in me wins.

As a side note, I love having boys. I have enjoyed watching them play together and it is such a blessing. So last night Gabriel was having a bath ( one of many this week because he LOOOOOOOOOVES baths). Caleb crawled into the bathroom and pulled up on the tub like always. He was trying very hard to reach the water and splash with his brother. Gabriel always obliging was dumping cups full of water in his brothers direction. After sitting on the outside of the water for 15 minutes and loving the splashing I took the chance. I put him in diaper and all. It was Glorious. Everything I was hoping for:) The boys played and played and played. Who knows what will happen next week but this week Caleb loved his bath:)

The days ahead

I have been consumed with planning for the days ahead. Lists and lists and lists. Best price for this, how many will I need of that? What about this date? No? ok this date? No? Hmmmmm. And I am just struck by the absurdity of living for tomorrow to the point of missing out on today. Now trust me missing out on today would be heavenly....everyone of our kids have ear infections. I spent two hours at the doctor with just the boys....lots of crying and ibuprofen and missed naps..... But I am talking about the today that makes tomorrow worth living. So I am going to go outside with my box of kleenex ( for noses not my crying) in the 80+ degree weather because my sweet Gabriel wants me to. My lists will wait till later.....like in the middle of the night when I can't sleep:)
