Mr. In D. Pendence

Austin, Austin, Austin....

This morning I was taking my shower, Ethan was in his reclining chair in the bathroom and you were playing with your bath toys on the bathroom floor. I was almost done and jokingly asked, "Wanna take a shower with mama?" You said, "No!" to which I was partly relieved and a little let down. But about a minute later, I noticed it was quiet and pulled back the curtain to see what you were up to. You were backwards on the potty, wearing nothing but socks, participating in your little ritual before tub time. I saw you hop off, then you came to the shower and tried to get in while wearing only socks! I told you to take them off; you did then got in. I'm surprised at how well you did in the shower - I shampooed your hair and then showed you how to back into the water so the soap doesn't run into your eyes. You liked the shower! Maybe I can talk Daddy into taking you with him next time...as much as it was fun, you're getting older so it seems a little weird...but not really I guess.

Then, to 'test' you, I told you to go pick out your own clothes to wear today. Without hesitation you ran into your bedroom and picked out navy track pants and a longsleeved navy shirt with an excavator on the front. You picked them out all on your own....and I must say you did a better job with clothing choice than earlier in the week when you wore brown/red fleece pants, a lime t-shirt, and blue crocs....I must point out that not only did you choose a great outfit for today, you also got dressed - ALL BY YOURSELF! Great to know and remember the tags go in the back. That makes the job that much easier for you.

We got into Daddy's hair gel and I spiked your hair up again today....you seem to love it! It's hard to take you seriously though, when your hair looks like this....
