Rub A Dub Dub, Three Boys In A...

2 foot by 2 foot shower. Imagine that. On second thought, don't. We have been trying to convince Blake and Dane that showers are super cool (and super fast for Mommy & Daddy) and that is time to move beyond the toy and bubble-filled bathtub. No such luck for awhile as they were too scared. Alas, last night was successful, but completely impromptu as both boys dropped their drawers while Matt was showering after mowing. I was nursing Blair so could not come to his rescue. So, I sat comfortably in the rocking chair listening to it all go down. This is what I heard...

Matt: "It's okay Dane...are you scared?...Daddy's right here...Okay, I'll hold you"
Dane: (once he was in the shower, comfortable and not being held) "I'm not scared!, I'm not scared" over and over at least one hundred times. Can you say nervous?
Blake: "Shower?!"
Matt: "Blake get in...it's okay...alright, I'll hold you" (remember 2 ft x 2 ft shower)
Dane: "Daddy, I have to go potty"
Matt: "Um, OK...just go in those holes right there (the drain)"
Dane: "OK...Daddy, what's that?" (I will not elaborate, but use your imagination)

There was so much more, but you get the idea. I could not see any of this, only hear it, and it was the funniest thing I have ever had the pleasure of listening to! Needless to say, Matt had quite the experience with his sons and they were beyond excited and proud after exiting the shower. I just hope this will take place in their larger tub shower, or the boys will begin to do it on their own in our teeny-tiny shower.
