Let me give you some background info first. Every afternoon, I make my kids have "quiet time." I instituted "quiet time" because, I needed to make sure the kids were reading and I needed it for my sanity! The kids all have to be quiet for 90 minutes, reading first, then drawing, coloring or listening to their ipods, etc, but reading has to be done first! Literally, the line between sanity and insanity is about 90 minutes apart around here!
Yesterday, all was quiet during "quiet time." The fact that it was so entirely quiet should have sent sirens off in my head, but it didn't. I was enjoying it very much. When I told Lauren that "quiet time" was over, she went to tell her siblings. A minute later, she came rushing down the stairs and tells me that Micah is asleep in the bathroom! Now, my first thought was that he had fallen asleep on the toilet, she must have seen the thought on my face, and whispers "in the bathtub!" Being the crazy mom that I am, I grabbed my camera and ran for the bathroom. The picture above is what I saw when I walked through the door! As soon as I snapped the first picture, he opened his eyes...dag gone it! I was hoping for a couple more pics!
Naturally, I had to ask why on earth he thought it was necessary to read & sleep in the tub. His reply floored me....because Caleb was being mean! I must be getting somewhere with the boys, because normally Micah would have settled it with his fists! I was so proud that he decided to find a place where no one would bother him.
If that's what it takes for a little quiet around here....go ahead sleep in the tub!
I sure am glad that no one had to use the potty! That could have ended badly!
