You know you're a mother when . . . Part 2

...You jump out of the shower with conditioner in your hair because your child is screaming.

Yes, that indeed happened to me today. I was in the shower while Greta happily played on the floor. I wasn't facing her so I can't say what she did but all of a sudden I heard clunk which is not normally a good sound. I turn around to see what's going on and sure enough Greta was sprawled on the floor. She started to cry and I waited a moment to see if it was just an oops cry or a I really hurt myself cry. It was unfortunately the latter so I jumped out, quickly slipped on my bathrobe to comfort my very unhappy girl. She got soaked and her hair got conditioned a bit but I must admit I really enjoyed how snuggly she was. She cuddled with me for a good 10 minutes and then I finished my shower.

lol I completely understand this one and have done it several times myself. I actually have found it more relaxing to have them in the shower with me while I shower. Both boys have sat quietly on the floor and splashed in the water while I showered in peace, no crying or pats on the leg either.
