Last night, Alec was out. I mention this since he usually takes care of bathtime. I likewise picture he would have handled things a bit differently. however let me back up as well as explain why the boys had to take a “zucchini bath” in the very first place.
Brothers’ bath is more like vegetable soup today
Sunday night, I decided to bake chocolate zucchini muffins. I grated fresh zucchini from the garden. I strained it as well as mushed it as well as ultimately wrapped it in a white meal towel to wring as well as capture the staying wetness from it before adding it to the muffin batter. The towel was left damp, so rather than throwing it into the filthy clothes, I hung it over the shower rod to dry out.
In the morning, I realized that the towel must have had some shredded zucchini still clinging to the fibers since I found numerous small bits of zucchini totally encrusted on my bathtub’s surface. I tried to wipe it up ”“ of program I did ”“ however it was a no go.
In the evening, after dinner, I prepped the boys that bath would be an interesting mix-it-up (our phrase for doing anything the wrong method or the mom’s-doing-dad’s-job or breakfast-for-dinner type of thing) zucchini bath.
Being two as well as four, they totally rolled with it. I provided one boy a scrubber (a nail scrubbing duck if you must know) as well as the other a sponge (a frog toy sponge) as well as provided them directions to clean every last zucchini bit from the bathtub. when the zucchini was submerged in water, it came up easily. say thanks to God! as well as the bathtub was full of two filthy boys as well as a bajillion zucchini floaties. I offered them the choice of draining it as well as starting once again however they wouldn’t hear of it.
When bath was over, they wished to sit in the draining tub as well as watch all the bits gather in the strainer basket. They squealed as well as screamed with pleasure as they made sure every last zucchini floaty discovered its method to the drain.
I can’t assist however question if Alec would have done any type of of the exact same things”¦
