Why it's important to NOT ignore your child and talk on the phone for copious lengths of time.

Yesterday I let Anders play in the shower. While he did that I chatted with my sister Heidi on the phone. We had a great conversation. We talked about everything. We laughed and talked and laughed and talked.....

At some point I figured that I should go check on Anders showering process so I walked into the bathroom and stepped in about a 1/2 inch of water. Then I smelled poop. Hmmmm that was a good time to get off the phone....

Thank goodness for towels to mop up the flood and bleach to deal with the tub that my son thought could double as a toilet. Mrs. Meyers Lemon Verbena multi-purpose solution came in handy too!

Well, it's admirable that he tried to clean it up (I take it, since there was water all over the place).

How nice that you have a washer in your apartment, instead of down the stairs and far away! I'll bet you ran a load or two...

Oh My! Never a dull moment!! Maybe a cordless phone would be good so you can watch and talk at the same time?? Well we live and learn. Love you.
