How To Clean a Bathroom

STEP ONE: Encourage 21 month old to use potty by letting him run around naked. Use of said potty (yeah Oliver!) is followed by pleas for a bath. This is my fault because each night before bath we use the potty then get into the tub. Tell stubborn child no but please wash your hands then leave the bathroom.

STEP TWO: Go back to the bathroom because you feel water has been on for too long and find child washing feet.


STEP THREE: Laugh in good nature as child slides all the way into the sink so he can have the bath that his mother denied him. Also, knowing that childhood goes by fast, do not get upset at the copious amounts of water flowing out of the plugged sink and onto the counters and floors.

STEP FOUR: Have an awwww moment when, after a fair amount of time in the "bath", you ask your child to say goodbye to his friend and get out of the "tub" and he gives him a "bye-bye" a cute little wave and a kiss goodbye.


STEP FIVE: Pull out your vinegar (or cleaning substance of choice), rags and scrub brush and clean sink, counters, floors and toilet as you mop up the bath water. Voila! Clean and fresh smelling bathroom.

How absolutely CUTE!!! Ollie is looking like such a big boy, it's hard to believe he's not quite 2, but then he does something like this, and you realize what a little guy he still is...and such a sweet little man! So thoughtful of him to not only get himself all clean (and congratulations! for using the potty!!) but the whole bathroom as well- good job!
