I have been a mollycoddling mum, and, I guess due to convenience etc., I shower Lil Princess, who has just turned 7, and Lil Man who is 9…
I know we need to foster independence, so this had been a task the last couple of weeks, giving their flannels, and towels, setting the water temp, and letting them go for it. It’s been a wet experience, wet floor, wet carpets, wet towels, wet everything, but at least they are doing it! I usually use our upstairs bathroom, and the kids are showered there. The downstairs shower room is Hubby Dearest’s territory.
As a little perk, he told Lil Man that come the weekend, he could start using the ‘boys’ shower. He just needs a little training on how to operate it… No problem… I’ll leave that mess for Hubby Dearest to clear up!
So today, the two munchkins were discussing the shower.
LM: I’m using the big shower at the weekend.
LP: No you’re not!
LM: Yes I am, Daddy said so!
LP: You don’t even know how to use it!!!
LM: Yes I do… first you turn the Bhangra on…
…a key part to having a shower obviously!
Hee hee! That is the thing with Hubby Dearest, he needs music everywhere, and has the Bhangra tunes on at full blast when he goes into the shower! So Lil Man sees this as an essential requirement for the downstairs shower!!!!
But LP is not finished…
LP: No, you need to put ‘Call Me Maybe’ on, then ‘I’m a Barbie Girl’ when changing!
Hmmm… I don’t think I’ve heard those particular songs coming from the bathroom when Hubby Dearest is in there… Me thinks she has her own ideas!!!!
