The other morning, while I made our french toast, Eli disappeared. It got REALLY quiet in our house. I checked all of the rooms he'd normally be in only to find...no Eli. I started calling for him and heard a "Yes, Mama" in return. That response led me to the bathroom, and this is what I found.
Eli was making a "choo choo train" out of all of the bath products and tub toys in his bathroom--from inside the empty tub. I ran immediately to find my camera. The first picture or so that I took, I didn't get caught. Then I was busted. He greeted me with a "Hi, mama!" and a "See the choo choo train?"
So now anytime the house gets too quiet, I know Eli's gone to his happy place: the bath tub. (Yes, I'm aware that this picture is screwed up, and I don't want to talk about it.) Occassionally, he requests dry socks because his have gotten wet from the water remaining from his last bath. He really loves to play in the tub. BUT I refuse to bathe the child more than once a day...unless it's a major need.
Lingering thought of the day: Do any of you remember the episode of Full House in which Stephanie went to live in the bathroom and turned the tub into her bed? After watching that episode, I really wanted to do that. Practicality and my parents were the only thing that stood in the way. Long story short, I think Eli gets this bath tub thing honestly...only he hasn't seen that episode of Full House.
