Bye Bye Summer, Hello Bathtub

Now, reason might lead you to believe that young children should take more baths in the summer than in any other season. After all, they spend their days playing in sand boxes, climbing on parks, rolling in grass, and eating "melty" snacks like popsicles and ice cream. But as a stay-at-home mommy, I know better. Summer means being too dang busy having fun to find any time for baths ;) As my good friend so appropriately asked via her facebook page, "How many days in a row can you use the excuse, "My kid went swimming today; therefore, she requires no bath."?" Well, I hate to say it, but summer is ending. Or at least, Sioux Falls Park District has closed their pools. School has begun for the "big kids" and David is a week away from his first day. Bye bye summer, hello bathtub.
