I wish it were that easy.

I try to shower right after Chris leaves for work and school with the older boys, but before Toddler Child gets out of bed.  Sometimes I don't make it.  If Toddler Child gets up before I've showered, I either have to let him take a shower with me [doable but not ideal], or make sure he's happy and distracted while I shower quickly with the door open, trying to finish before he notices and wants to join me.

Chris and the two older boys left this morning, happy it was Friday.  Toddler Child was awake and content.  I quickly showered while he watched television.

I was finished with my shower, in the bathroom, running a comb through my wet hair.

Toddler Child enters the bathroom, looks at my bare rear, smacks one of my butt cheeks with his little hand and says, "I gotta pop those balloons."
