This was one such weekend. Baby Bear was asleep for his morning nap. Papa Bear and Little Bear were playing with baby dolls. Everything started out fine. I was enjoying the hot water and the steam. (Like I said, it becomes almost orgasmic when it happens so infrequently.) Suddenly, through the shower door I see Papa Bear and Little Bear creeping in. I obviously know something is up. The door opens and there stands Little Bear with a tall cup of cold water. She loves to throw cold water on my feet when I shower. I have no idea where she got this idea. Ahem. Anyways, she throws it on my feet, I fake scream to let her know it’s cccooooold and carry on. However, Papa Bear is not finished. He opens the door and I manage to dodge another big cold cup over the head. I don’t mind reminding Papa Bear, “I’m getting myself ready for tonight so if I were you I would think before you get anything started.” Doh! That one gets him. After saying something about that being cheap he walks away head down and tail between legs. Of course, this is not before I must endure at least one cup of the H2O. It was COLD!
Sigh. Finally, I proceed with my
Me: So, I was talking to my mom…
Papa Bear (holding the camera with a sheepish grin, eyes darted to the left and up.): uh huh...
Me: Listen to me! Quit thinking about whatever you want to scheme about and listen to me!
Papa Bear: What! I am listening, you said….
Me: All I ask for is a little time. Is that too much to ask?
So, I drop the towel and smile. He gets the picture and him and Little Bear go their merry way. I enjoyed those few moments of peace preparing for the day.

Made me laugh to read about the fun with husband and your daughter.
It is difficult however, to get those moments to yourself when your kids are young.
