Moving to the Lake

That's right. I'm going to move to a lake. Any lake. Pond. Ocean. River. Any of these will do. And I don't mean waterfront property. I am going to comission someone to build us an underwater home.

Apparently, this is what will make my children happy. And I'm all about the happy child.

Joshua played in the bathtub for 2 full hours yesterday before I decided to release the parent in me and make him get out . He wasn't happy about that. 2 whole hours! Do you know what I can get done in two hours without him badgering me? Okay, I am not sure what I could get done. I spent the time online trying to find a good bargain on some organic terry diapers. But still....I think I could live like this. One 2 hour bath, every day.

Holley falls asleep in the bath. When she was on the hammock portion of ther baby bathtub, this was sort of understandable. Warm water pouring over her while she's nestled in the safety of a hammock. Shoot, I'd fall asleep under those conditions. But now, the hammock is off and she is in the baby bath. Immersed, and sitting up. She'll just let out a sigh while I'm washing her and the next thing I know, she's starting to drift off. Most babies cry when pulled from the bath, and I always assumed that was because wet plus naked equals cold. I'm pretty sure Holley just cries because I woke her up.

Holley has developed a fascination with cups, and will grab at any drink she can reach and stick her hands in, regardless of beverage. Joshua loves fountains and lever-style drink releasers(like on my fridge, bleh).

Over the course of potty training, Joshua has repeatedly peed on the floor. Instead of hiding from me or letting me know he had an accident, I often find him playing in it. Splish splash, mama, come join me. And look, my tractor can go through this puddle too! Sigh.

I am seriously considering this option. Maybe the "Sealab: 2021" animators know someone to hook me up with. ;) Just submerge us in water and the kids will never cry again.

hmmm, how would I deal with electricity?????
