Savannah just dips her mouth right in the tub and no matter how many times we've told her not to drink it, she does...maybe we should try a reverse psychology approach. Grosses me out too!! Oh and as for showers, just not as much fun-well for Savannah at least, she's not really a fan. Surely they will survive the bathwater, I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say that we probably drank it too ;)Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01014699148300634736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2356238098880523445.post-84168670880023695152009-09-12T10:16:29.087-05:002009-09-12T10:16:29.087-05:00I will definitely have to check out this poetry ca...I will definitely have to check out this poetry carnival.<br /><br />About angels--I do believe in them, though I very much doubt they have feathery wings and serene expressions. Whenever someone in the Bible saw an angel, they fell down on the ground in fear. I'm also not sure I believe in the idea that everyone has their own personal guardian angel following them around all the time. I do believe God is at work all around us in ways we never even know about, though.Jen Rousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15318797787773072481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2356238098880523445.post-26746777540910579852009-09-12T08:42:17.496-05:002009-09-12T08:42:17.496-05:00http://maryjohnpauljamespatricksofia3.blogspot.com...http://maryjohnpauljamespatricksofia3.blogspot.com/2009/04/my-gaurdian-angel.html<br /><br />does that work as a link?kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06403839587472802558noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2356238098880523445.post-67480806210920793292009-09-12T08:37:22.793-05:002009-09-12T08:37:22.793-05:00the blogger thing where my list is deleted ? yeah ...the blogger thing where my list is deleted ? yeah that happens to me a lot.

This is a place where dozens of fountains shoot out of the ground and lots of kids run and play in them (I'm not sure what the true term is for it). For all I know, they ingested the pee of dozens of toddlers.<br /><br />I always enjoy your "quick takes."Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17470564337562063124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2356238098880523445.post-83492751452425650622009-09-11T15:34:33.746-05:002009-09-11T15:34:33.746-05:00MY boys are 3 and 5 and still try to sneak the wat...MY boys are 3 and 5 and still try to sneak the water when i am not looking. Which is why they get a TON of showers. I started it when they were 2 and 4 and it has been the best thing ever. I have a stand-alone shower and they can both be washed and out of there in less than 5 minutes. No toys, no fuss.happygeekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14554736584093276751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2356238098880523445.post-24265791119575291012009-09-11T15:22:03.713-05:002009-09-11T15:22:03.713-05:00Thanks for linking to my guardian angel story.

I took the cup away that I was using to rinse his hair because he would sit there and drink it and flash me a grateful smile like I had prepared him a tropical drink. Then he started drinking out of his boat. Every once in awhile he'll actually just lower his head to the water and drink directly. Yeah. I'm a little worried, but not enough to do anything about it I guess...Erinhttp://www.littlekitegirl.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2356238098880523445.post-43833955457264440172009-09-11T11:45:33.511-05:002009-09-11T11:45:33.511-05:00I always love your Quick Takes.

It is absolutely horrifying to me and always induces gagging. For awhile, my oldest was the bathwater police and would launch into bossy mode whenever his brother started gulping the stuff down. THEN I found him carefully tasting it himself and looking rather pleased with what he encountered.

It's WONDERFUL. You don't have to click on every blog individually and you can add subscriptions of people that aren't on blogger (like people on Wordpress, etc.).<br /><br />Oh, and what Justin said about your rhymes? Totally cracked me up -- it sounds exactly like something Dave would say :)<br /><br />P.S. On a completely unrelated note, have you started the 2nd book in the Mitford series? I am on the 4th! The first one took me forever to read, but now I'm going through them like wildfire! I think they must have grown on me.<br /><br />And...now I'm done :)Amy@My Front Porchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02327489046542866922noreply@blogger.com
