This morning as I was getting ready, I used my usual tactics to keep Scout entertained. Amongst the many are….keep him in the bath with his bath toys, have him get all of his lotion and gel and clothes ready for me to put on him, send him on errands to clean different things up, and give him a toothbrush for him to brush away. The last tactic is not my very favorite because he asks me to add additional toothpaste and get the brush wet about every minute.
I sent him on the errand of putting his clothes away in the hamper, and it was quite a while before he was back. When he returned, he kept running from the bathroom to the study and cracking up as much as I have ever heard him laugh. I was just thrilled he was entertaining himself. After about 5 minutes of the running and finishing blow drying my hair, I finally was interested in what was thrilling him. I then realized he had a toothbrush and toothpaste in hand, and rather than bother me, he figured out that if he dipped his brush in the toilet water, he wouldn’t have to ask me for help and wait the 30 seconds until I got around to it. By this time, he had the front of his shirt fairly wet, and water just dripping from his mouth. Nasty!
I guess the good news is that it wasn’t my toothbrush. The really good news is that it will dry before Micah gets home….so he won’t suspect a thing!
