Since moving into this house the kids have typically showered in our bathroom. I have recently decided that I am taking back our bathroom and they have been given notice that once school is over their bathroom will be the place that they shower. Then something wonderful happened. My parent's were gifted a bluetooth shower head. Being the wonderful grandparents they are they re-gifted it to us. Now, initially Brandon was a little intrigued when we discovered you could not only listen to tunes but also take phone calls. I guess he had visions of early morning conference calls in the shower...but we decided that was not as practical as it seemed. First problem solved - the kids now have a cool thing in their bathroom and so they want to take a shower in their bathroom. Second problem solved - they take too long of showers. Well we have a new time limit and it is how many songs you get during your shower. They haven't figured out yet that some songs are longer than others and I don't have any 7 minutes songs downloaded. Things were looking perfect. Elizabeth was able to wash her body, shampoo and condition her hair all while belting out Taylor Swift's Shake it Off. Awesome. Next up was Grant, apparently Elizabeth hadn't quite had enough singing and was still hanging out in the bathroom while I stepped out to get someone a change of clothes and he didn't appreciate her singing (and maybe some dancing- who knows!) and he swung the shower door open and it came back and pinched his finger. His singing in the shower debut was not quite as special. But we are Paulis and we don't give up! Mom only gives them one song, they can pick it, but ONE song. Last night daddy was in charge of showers and I am almost positive they each got FOUR songs. He is so much nicer than me sometimes. I just hope he doesn't really think that they got any cleaner because they had extra time!
