To Tell the Truth, the Whole Truth, and Nothing But the Truth. November 27, 2008
Posted by Emily in : Daily Life, Princess Hannah , 9commentsI should probably lock the bathroom door. I was never warned that when you become a mother you instantly loose the right to privacy.
When I take a shower (which, amazingly, I still try to do on a regular basis) I have two choices. I can lock the bathroom door, and listen to Hannah yell, “MOMMY! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?” again, and again for 20 minutes, or I can leave it unlocked and let her walk in to see for herself.
Being the very grown up, independent two year old that she is, she invited herself into the bathroom while I was taking a shower today.
“Mommy, what are you doing?” (She still asks this question even though she knows darn well what I’m doing)
“Honey, I’m taking a shower. Now shut the curtain and go play!”
“Hannah take a shower!” (She likes to refer to herself in third person)
Before I knew it, she had stripped off all her clothes and diaper. How can you turn down a well meaning two year old?
As we sat in a bath of water while I shaved my legs (because shaving is the most important part of taking a shower) Hannah got a big smile on her face and said, “Mommy, Hannah’s peeing in the bathtub.”
Nice.
And then I smiled and thanked her for telling me.
I am so THANKFUL on this THANKSGIVING DAY that two year olds are inclined to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth.
Lucky for us, we got to take two showers today.
