The difference between a mom and a dad...

One of the differences between a mom and a dad (I have found), is that somehow kids know that a mom never really goes off duty. Case in point: Last night I snuck away to have a shower while Jed and the kids were playing in the front room. After about 5 minutes, Avery came walking in to the bathroom, making cute little faces at me through the glass. Then she decides she wants to come in. So now she is standing fully clothed in the shower, and loving it. I would have just taken her clothes off and let her experience it all, but there is one problem - she has a dirty diaper. Luckily Jed came to the rescue and changed her, then she came in for a real shower - her first one ever. She made it look so fun that after a few minutes Oliver was in there too. (Now mind you, dads can take showers whenever they want without visitors - how does that work?) So my alone time turned into the family shower! And you know what - it was so funny and cute that I didn't mind at all. I love being a mom, and alone time is overrated!
