Privacy Please???

Setting the stage:

• Gifts I "give" all my kids-

1. 1 year- wean from nursing- slowly but deliberately

2. 1 year- snip the tops of each pacifier- when they realize they don't suck, they show me that they are broken and I tell them to throw it away. When they want it later I tell them that they already threw it away. Never has been an issue.

3. 2 years- lose the crib and into a "big" boy crib, and in exchange let them chew (monitored) gum since they are a big boy.

4. 2 years- potty-trained (start at 20 months and trained by 2 years.)

5. 3 years- stop dressing/being naked in front of them.

THUS BEGINS THE STORY......

So my boys still want to shower with me some mornings, I don't mind, but they are too old to be taking a typical shower with me. I decided, "No big deal. I will put on my swimsuit, and we can all shower."

Mr Gabriel "Big-Shot" Cowart figures it out that it is due to me wanting some privacy because I am a GIRL. I tell him that is true. He decides he probably needs some privacy too. Sure... whatever.... He gets his suit.
Gavin and Grant figure it is a POOL PARTY and not to be outdone by big bro get their suits on too.

So, here is a normal view of our shower. Toys and swimsuits.

Ahhh.... for the love of boys. What is a little bit more laundry. What are a few more toys going to hurt. They are squeaky clean, hilarious and happy.

Plus no more banging on the door, prying open of the door, or yelling/shreiking of "I am almost out! Give me a minute." or the constant thought of "Was that crying? Is someone hurt? Are they OK out there?"

We are all in here. Suited up. Happy and Clean!
