How NOT to get a two year old ready for bed.

1. Give said child a bath.
2. Dry him off and put a clean diaper on him.
3. Go to the bathroom to drain the tub and mop the newly formed lake off the floor.
4. Don't notice two year old grabing shoes and sneaking outside.
5. Continue picking up wet towels as child wrestles the dog
6. Thnk, "Wow, he's being WAY too quiet." as he digs a big hole in the mud
7. Find dirt covered child grinning in the backyard.
8. Repeat steps 1 and 2.
9. Put kid to bed.
10. Listen to pleas for "me-ilk, Mommy please" till you give in and bring one more drink.
11. THEN clean up the bathroom.

Based on a true story....At least my son knows he has to have shoes on to go outside.....I just wish he knew that clothes were required too!

Haha, that was great. And I can totally believe it. We bathe our two little girls together, and sometimes, when we are really trying to get Jessica's hair (the older one) good and clean we will rinse it off in the shower. I usually get Aubrey out first though as she isn't a big fan. Set her on the floor, wrap her in a towel, and bam, she is off, naked as a jaybird, finding whatever she can get into.

Crazy kids.
