one tiny bathroom

mommy lesson of the day :  sometimes one tiny little bathroom isn't so bad after all.  

I love my house. We worked, prayed, cried and fought to get it and I am so glad we finally have a place for our kids to grow up in.  But, if there was one thing I could change it would be that my lovely home only has one bathroom - and we are a family of 5...for now.  Nothing will remind you quicker that you need an additional bathroom like a Mexican food night.....

But sometimes having one tiny little bathroom isn't so bad after all.  The girls are totally into brushing their teeth and having mint smelling breath, as they say.  I am all for it! Yes, please brush your teeth before you come huggin' on me!  So in the mornings we all pile in there.  Ella stands next to me and Avery stands on the toilet.  Ella has got it down now so she doesn't really need help anymore but Avery is just getting the hang of it.  She stands on the toilet and plays copy cat while I brush my teeth.  Its the cutest thing ever.  Then when we are all finished they usually stay in the bathroom with me, Ella still next to me and Avery is still almost falling off the top of the toilet, and they talk to me the whole time I am getting ready.  We laugh using the hair dryer and make funny faces in the mirror while I put on my makeup.  And then I am off to work after lots of hugs and kisses.  I love these little moments in the morning that start my day.
