He's doing more for himself...

the other day our son was filthy! Like from head to toe as little boys can be apt to do.

Mommy, I think I need a bath!

yes, I think you do too. Give me a moment to get this done and I"ll help out.

I get what I was doing done and find him missing.

I walk into the house to find footprints going through the kitchen, up the stairs and into the bathroom. No boy anywhere.

I go downstairs to find a boy snuggled into the sofa watching TV. All sparkly clean.

I was very surprised, and very pleased. The dirt on the floor...ah... that can be cleaned up. But the boy clean all by himself. Well...all I could say was WELL DONE LAD! :)
