and so it begins

Last night was quite productive. Dinner went well with even seconds requested except I think he was confused. Corey was torn between eating another plate of chicken with pasta or taking a bath?? This was huge since he saw the plate but remembered that I had mentioned the words "take a bath". His selective hearing kicked in when I said "after dinner we will take a bath." That was it, dinner had reached a hault. The other 2 decided that they were also done even though they hadn't finished theirs yet. Now it was time for a bath. Big bro and little sis had theirs in the morning while dad brought Corey to school, so they were relieved that it wasn't their turn but excited that it was his turn now. It's not that he doesn't enjoy the tub it's just that he doesn't really like it so much. He does the shivering, the yelling (just to hear his voice echoe) and of course the splashing and then the water. That dreadful water on his face that also takes his breath away. Not happy but then it's over time to get out. This is when he decides to start to swim. The other kids think it's just hilarious. I on the other hand do enjoy it but don't show him since I'm ready for it to be over. Shaking until he spits up is just his way and the more I try to dry him the more he shakes, ugh... Time for alittle snuggle cuddle and it's over. Bedtime at last. It doesn't end there since the 2 youngest get out of bed 3 or 4 times before they stay there. Dylan is the last one to bed, only 15min. later but it seems like much longer. Everyone's all in tucked in with their goodnite kisses, hugs and many "I love you's" when I realize that it's not the end for me. Still notes to write with friends waiting, laundry to do and of course some t.v. and knowing that tomorrow is another beautiful spring day with fun for all. And so it begins...
