The other night I convinced my husband to give Luke a bath. And Luke tried something he has never done before…at least to me, his momma. To understand I have to back up a little. Luke has been showing some signs that he may be ready for potty training…I know…how do you train a boy who can’t communicate or walk?? Ask me in about 6 months when we actually start the “potty sitting time”…then maybe I’ll know enough to give some advice.
To start we are no longer changing diapers in his room, but in the bathroom…so that Luke might start associating the toilet and diapers. So because of this my husband took Luke’s diaper, PJ’s, towel and wash cloth to the bathroom with him the other night. I don’t remember what I was doing at the time, probably getting ready for our garage sale…but our baby girl was also in the bathroom. You also need to understand that this bathroom barely has enough room to turn around in.
So here was all this stuff and two little kids and my husband all in the bathroom. The actual bath seemed to go well, but when Luke was done all of a sudden I heard, “NO!! Luke!!!” and then I heard “come get your son, I’m not dealing with him.” So here momma came to the rescue and I asked what Luke had done that my husband didn’t want to deal with him anymore.
It turned out that Luke took his diaper and PJ’s and threw them into the tub..that still had the water in it from Luke’s bath. He was obviously trying to tell his daddy that they belonged there…after all he just got washed…why not those too?? I thought it was quite funny!!
In the past Luke had thrown other things in the water on me, like his ball and the foot stool I use for him in the bathroom to wash hands….but the diaper and clothes was a first. The diaper did dry out and I used it the next night…it wasn’t in the tub long enough to absorb too much water…we can’t waste $0.24 now can we?
