I wish it were that easy.

I try to shower right after Chris leaves for work and school with the older boys, but before Toddler Child gets out of bed.  Sometimes I don't make it.  If Toddler Child gets up before I've showered, I either have to let him take a shower with me [doable but not ideal], or make sure he's happy and distracted while I shower quickly with the door open, trying to finish before he notices and wants to join me.

Chris and the two older boys left this morning, happy it was Friday.  Toddler Child was awake and content.  I quickly showered while he watched television.

I was finished with my shower, in the bathroom, running a comb through my wet hair.

Toddler Child enters the bathroom, looks at my bare rear, smacks one of my butt cheeks with his little hand and says, "I gotta pop those balloons."

Yeah, that's what they are. Balloons. I feel much better now about my own. Good job, Toddler Boy!

It must be butt week! Last night my toddler Jake and I shared a big bubble bath. Before stepping in, he was grinning as he looked at my a**. He asked "Wassat, Mamma?" "That's my bum!" Then he poked it and said "Mamma's big bum, Jakey's little bum!", pointing to his own.

Adorable, but… really??? ;)

Oh yeah, HE'S a guy alright! Man, I remember those days, when a shower was a rare and beautiful thing. I love toddlers, but man I'm glad my kids are bigger now - I can finally shower in peace.

"Up, up and away, with my beautiful, my beautiful balloons..."

Whaddya mean that's not how that song goes? Works for me!

Ms. Maxwell - We've all got 'em!

Debbie - He made me laugh out loud too.

Connie - Look at you, talking all "Utah-like".

Joe Girl - They're so honest!

Deidre - Eek! I'm not ready to think of any of the boys going to prom yet.

We Be Toys - I like your version of the song. It's perfect! I enjoy my kids, but life with infants and toddlers is difficult.

Bobbi - I don't know about "nice round bum", roundish (emphasis on the "ish") might be accurate.

Claire - No kidding! Funny!

The Demigod - I want the fedora and shoes! I swear I was a gay man in another life...

Jim - Good point. Thanks for the advice!

Kate Coveny Hood - I think Toddler Child sounded just like your child would have! Nice job!

The Floydster - Funny, but I really wish he could pop the the balloons. How easy would that be? Just let a little air out of the big parts.

Braja - He WAS smiling...

Hilarious. Really funny! The little squirt...

My son pats my bum and says, "My squishy!"

That is hysterical!

Even though they sometimes say cruel/funny/gross/inappropriate things, I find it so refreshing how kids can just say anything without a filter. It stinks when we become adults and have to start caring about if we hurt other people's feelings. Stupid, sensitive people with their stupid sensitive feelings and emotions!

I hope you're well and enjoying 2009!

Those balloons! Love it!

My gal likes to sneak into my bath sometimes and I don't mind too much as long as she doesn't call my buttocks fat, like she did last year.

Wow. That's hilarious. The mind of toddlers. You have to wonder how they come up with these phrases.

Oh Lordy. My daughter took a look at my nether regions the other day, pointed to them and said, You've got a cover (hair) and I don't. Yikes!
