My 7 year old takes FOREVER in the bathroom. I mean I have never seen anyone take so long. I am not all to sure what she is doing. I know she likes to write on the mirror in the bathroom after she gets out because it is all fogged over but other than that...I have no clue. She has eczema pretty bad so she has to have certain soaps and stuff. I normally have to get her to take showers only because the chlorine in this water gets her itching. Her daddy got her some Aveeno bath wash/lotion sets the other day to use, so I went ahead and ran her bath water. She is a big girl, so I let her do her thing. I will help wash out the top of her hair because she doesn't do such a great job with that. I squeezed her a little bath wash in the running water to hopefully soften the harsh water a little and went on about washing dishes.
She gets out; dries off and gets ready for bed. Like 3 hours later I go into the bathroom and was partially shocked. Yes, I expected the clothes and towels all over. The normal slew of toys and full cups of water lining the sides of the bath tub with dolls, pet shops and other toys taking personal bath time until their next bath play time was missing. {random bit- They use to have water guns in the bath basket but then after the ceiling started having water dripping from it, I put a stop to that real quick.}
Did I expect a tub full of soapy foam...nope. It was alright, but I was like goodness.....she seriously went body wash happy. A tub full of soapy suds instead of water everywhere was a plus. Normally, the rules are pick up after yourself...but I let em' slide every once in a while. This was one of those times.
