As some of you know I live in a small apartment with my husband and children. Some would say it is not too small (its a 4 bedroom 3 bath apt). However when you add five people a dog and cats to the mix, things get a bit tight. Anyways back to my story. As most of you know I am also a stay at home mom. I have three children. My oldest Gabriel is 12, my daughter Kathline is 10 and my youngest Tyler is 4. Obviously my two oldest are in school during the day.
Me and Tyler have the house to ourselves all day and we enjoy each other company very much ( that is until he has a meltdown). Well giving the fact the he is 4 and he needs constant supervision I cant just simply leave him to fend for himself if I need to go take a shower or take the dog outside to use the bathroom. I cant even go to the bathroom without him following me in. If sure most of you can relate to that.
So today I decided that I needed a shower ( it has been about 2 days since I had a one.) So I get up and pick up the mornings mess from breakfast and blankets from cartoon time and announce to Ty that I am going to take a shower. Now our routine is that he comes in there with me and plays on my phone while I take my time and really enjoy a hot shower.
As I am taking my shower, I am hearing this little voice next to me tell me what I need to do in order to clean myself properly. "Mom don't forget to use shampoo." "Mom don't forget to use soap." " Mom don't make the water too hot or it will burn you." You get the picture. So i am going about my business with cleansing myself and all is going well. I wash with soap and rinse off then I go and grab the shampoo. I put some in my hair and wash thoroughly. As I am washing the shampoo out of my hair, I have my head tilted back and my eyes closed. I notice this bright light out of the corner of my eye. Now mind you my eyes are still closed. As this is happening my mind goes in to overdrive as to what is happening. Am I having an aneurysm, am I about to have a seizure. Oh my god what is happening? Then the horror hits me. TYLER HAS MY PHONE. I turn with this horrid look on my face and as the words OH MY GOD NO start to come out of my mouth. He snaps a picture of me in the shower. Now this would not be so bad except I have a clear shower curtain and had no way of covering myself. I have to laugh at the simple mind of a child as he thinks "Hey lets take a picture of mom in t e shower." Then I have to wonder about the fact that is my son and I am sure there is a alternative motive behind this. All I can say is thank god it is my phone and the picture can be deleted.
