Our New Hybrid



We have a new hybrid!



It's totally awesome.



Which model, you ask?




Well, it's probably not what you are thinking....





You remember back when I told you that Audrey preferred showers over baths? And she was just barely over two years old? She still prefers them, but now that Lucas is old enough to hold his own in the tub we've been bathing them together. The problem: Lucas loves baths. Audrey doesn't. She still prefers a big girl shower to any kind of bath. But to have Audrey take a shower and then Luke take a bath, that's just a lot of time and water down the drain. If you will.


So I came up with a compromise. It's a hybrid. Of a bath and a shower. It's a shower-bath. Or a Bower. Or a Shath. Or something.

(Was that only funny in my house?)



See, I plug the drain and then turn on the shower so that the bath fills with water and then Luke stays near the faucet so the shower spray doesn't get him and Audrey stays at the end of the tub so the shower spray does get her. It works for everyone.





Then both Audrey and Lucas can play in the tub for as long as they'd like and they're both happy.

(Doesn't the water look cool, suspended like that?)




See what I mean about happy? That is one happy kid.






And so is that.






But now he's got more important things to do like play with the little wind up ducky that swims in the water.






Mom, can you put the camera away - I want to chew on this ducky's feet and I don't want that immortalized. No blackmail opportunities.





Haha. That's what you think! I'm keepin' tabs!
