As a single mom, some things are more challenging than others. For example, I have to shower.
Really, I do.
It's not okay to skip too often.
But when no one is here, that can be a dicey proposition. Especially for my little princess. Leah Grace often showers with me. She loves it and it's good bonding. But then there are those times when I must do it alone.
Like today.
Thinking I was a brilliant person, I moved the kids' kitchen into the living room which we often do when we are "cooking." I thought, "This will keep them busy while I *quickly* get it done." Little did I know.....
Leah loves avocados; we learned this in Uganda.
LOVES.
So when I was taking a shower today, she got busy.
I came back down and found this.
Yes, that's my little princess using the "knife" of her kitchen set to open a ripe avocado. On the floor. And oh so proud of herself. *sigh*
Today (so far) she has also done the laundry with me, washed the toilet with her hand (thank God I had just cleaned it with bleach), and attempted to change her poopy diaper without my assistance resulting in this:
She ran from me for about 10 minutes so I couldn't clothe her and then she started posing for the camera. Oh dear....
Yea, baby got BACK. ;)
Anyway, just a picture of our day to help you giggle with us. More to come on what I think God may be teaching me through the mayhem....

Aww Leah Grace..such a cutie pie (stinker) ha At least she was using the play knife and not a real one! Jake's brother and sister in law have an avocado tree in s. fla and can never get rid of them all. Sometime I will box some up and send them to Leah! When they bring us some, that is.
So . . . was the private shower worth it??!! You deserve a medal of honor, Deb Steiner! (so does every single mom, for that matter!)
