my husband says I have a CLUMSY GENE............

while I am not sure if that could be proven by a scientific method, I can't really disagree with the theory.
I do seem to trip UP stairs, And sadly, seem to have passed the gene onto Zion. (He may look like his daddy, but...........)



The last few evenings trying to get the boys in bed on time have been difficult. Not only do we like to sleep a little later when school is out, but the time change from Guam to San Diego has messed up our sleep schedule. So for the 7th or 8th time, I walked back up the stairs to give Isaac and Zion the "business"........

STOP TALKING


STAY IN YOUR BED


CLOSE YOUR EYES!


IT'S BEDTIME!

As I get almost to their room, Zion had the fear of being "busted" and made a run for the it. For some crazy reason, he ran out of his room into the bathroom.

(*perhaps he thought he could pretend to have an urgent need in there)

He slipped in the water puddle left over from his shower and went crashing into the tub.
He cracked his big toe into the side of the tub and immediately starting yelling.........'OH OH OH. MY TOE, MY TOE, I think I broke my toe"

I was already on the verge of laughter at his little slip-n-slide routine and the broken toe chant that followed. He wasn't crying, so I didn't think he was seriously injuried, just shocked by the chain reaction of events.

As he jumped up, he grabbed his toe and continued the TOE CHANT, hopping on one foot. After a few hops, he decides to sit down and do an inspection of said toe...... can you picture it all?

Close your eyes and imagine a bathroom in a house of 3 boys...........


Got it??


Yes??


So Zion sits back onto the space where the toilet is to examine his toe, and of course, both lids were open and the toilet had NOT been flushed.........


SPLASH!!!!!!

The toe chant turned to screams and I quickly snatched him out of the yellow water.

I pulled his pajama pants off and turned on the bath water.

Stopped up the drain and told him to wash off the pee water.

Then I quickly ran down to my room, shut the door, and died laughing.



Poor kid........he DOES have the gene!
