Bath Time!!

Saturday and Monday were both pretty big days for Aiden. On Saturday Mikiah (6), Zavier (4) and Carter (3) all came over. The first two we were babysitting as part of the babysitting swap with other members of our church so they could have a date night. Carter came with his mother for some play time and some pizza.

Aiden loved it. Even though the other boys are older, they are all very good at including him and making him part of what they do. So there was a lot of running, giggling and the near-death experiences that come with having more than one boy in the house at a time. Everyone was pretty well behaved too, which is nice.

Then on Monday Carter came by while his mother got some "Me-Time" (a very necessary part of parenting...everyone needs a break now and again.) Carter is certainly the more aggressive of the two, but they play together well. Both were learning some sharing principals as both are only children so far. It's good for them to get that experience.

Monday culminated with Aiden taking his bath and Carter really wanting to play in the water. So Carter ended up in the bath as well. Needless to say, Liz had to break out some extra towels for the boys and for the bathroom floor which had as much water on it as was in the tub. I grabbed the camera and got a few pictures. Some of which aren't fit to publish.

Bath time ended abruptly when Aiden slipped and hit his head. No worries. He had a small bump on his forehead and he cried for a while (which made Carter cry.) But he's perfectly fine and was sitting up watching Spongebob in no time.

Thanks to all three boys for the playtime. (Although the Liz and I are worn out!)

I'm so glad that I'm not the only person whose life sounds exactly like yours. I was beginning to worry. But it sounds like your life is SUPER CRAZY too. That's good news for me. (And your having some fun too, so that's good. Give Aiden a kiss for me. Can't wait until we get to see you all. love you, mandy

When you've got a little one in the house, it's always crazy.

We miss you guys too and look forward to the next time we're able to get together.
