It’s true
(This one is about parenting. Obviously. Thankfully, my son was never this destructive in a short amount of time. He was too meticulous and carefully in his messes.)
It has only been ten minutes
Since you were rinsed and scrubbed
I dried you off and diapered you
Leaving you with mom
I went to get your bottle
That you have before you sleep
Yet your hair is all in tangles
And your feet begin to stink
I see toilet paper in place of pants
And a toothbrush in your shirt
I see mud upon your shins and knees
Where did you even find the dirt?
There is shaving cream around your belly
And a diaper is your hat
I wonder how you did this
When I left you so pristine
Somehow you have ruined my work
In such a tiny time

Kids are so creative in their ability to make a mess! 😊
A lovely ode to the tireless efforts of parents (despite the frustration).

So true as well as poetic. Good thing bathtime was one of the most enjoyable parts of the day for both me and the kids!

It was hit and miss for me. My son had fun playing in the bath, but hated getting out to the point he would have a meltdown. Took a while to find ways to prevent that.

There are some things I miss about the tiny tot days. For one thing, I can’t pick my son up and take him along when he doesn’t want to go someplace. Now, it’s like negotiating with a really sassy brick wall.
