Stinky boys

Zachary sometimes loves to have a bath and sometimes will fight you tooth and nail not to let that evil soap and water touch his body. Last week he willingly took a shower with me. It was quick but he was totally ok. Last night he wasn't having any of it.

I was filling up the back for his sister and she was playing in the water while the tub filled. I went to grab Zachary for his bath and he said "No want bath mama". "Tough luck kid your stinky and itchy...your having a bath" so I grabbed him up and on the way to the bathroom started stripping him down. Once in the bathroom I placed him in the tub. He refused to sit down and kept repeating "No want bath mama!". Again I said "Tough". So I grabbed the shower head (I LOVE our detachable shower head with kids!) and hosed him down while he continued to stand there...his volume went up quite a bit at that point. I put the shower head back, grabbed the soap/shampoo and soaped down his head and any bits that would have been stinky.

He continued to scream at me that he didn't want a bath...too bad kiddo. Once he was all soaped I again grabbed the shower head and hosed him down. Poor thing looked like a drowned rat! Once he was all rinsed I quickly hauled him out of the tub, wrapped a towel around him and said "All done!"...he was still mumbling "no want to take a bath mama".
This all took approx 60 seconds I think. I threw his pj's on him and he went off on his merry way.

I love the quick sneak attack cleanings....clean before they truly know what is happening...I'm an evil mama sometimes! ~grin~
