We only have one bathtub in our house and it’s in the master bathroom.
After Lucas has a bath, his favorite thing to do is rush out of the bathroom completely naked and dripping wet and jump and “wrestle in bed”, as he calls it with his dad.
The roughhousing turns into a game of struggling to get Lucas’ pajamas on.
It’s good physical fun for Lucas and great bonding time for both of them, so I usually stay away.
They twist and turn and roll all over the big king-sized bed, pillows are tossed on the floor and laughter can be heard throughout the house. It’s one of my favorite times of the day.
Having no fear or concept of how much his propelling onto his dad’s back may hurt, Todd recently tried to explain to Lucas that he is just a person; a body, made up of water, blood, tissue and bones. Overhearing this from the bathroom, I popped out and asked Lucas what he thought was in his body.
His reply without skipping a beat: “my heart”.
I may have cried a little.
Lucas and his friend, Jackson on Saturday night. Isn't the turquoise water so fun? Thanks to Jackson's mommy, we've discovered Sesame Street Fizzy Tub Color Tablets!

Aww, what a sweet little boy! Sometimes they say stuff like that, completely catch us off guard, and melt us right there on the spot.
We have those color tablets too! My kids adore them!
Yes, kids say the most adorable things sometimes.
I had never seen the tablets before and Luca loves them! Last night we had a purple bath.
I’m a puddle on the floor. Really.
Love the colored water, that’s so cool!
So sweet, huh?
The bath tablets are very cool.
So cute! He’s such a sweetheart <3
And what a nice pic of Lucas and Jackson!
XOXO
Thanks. We had a sleep over at Jackson’s on Saturday… all three of us. It was great fun!
Oh, I think MY heart just exploded. I love those moments. Truly. My kiddos take showers with us now…and love to run around naked too…must be a guy thing 😉
I LIVE for these moments. Truly.
My boys love sprinting into the living room after a bath or a shower yelling that they “are all nakey” it is a battle to calm them down for jammies.
What a sweet thing for him to say.
I teared up. It was just so sweet. 🙂
Yep, the wrestling, I mean the bonding, is very important between the men we are living with. And with our tot it’s the same, he doesn’t know when it’s getting painful for his dad. Sigh. I categorically refuse to wrestle.
I’m not into it either… in our house mommy does not get wrestled.
Oh, ouch! That one goes right to a mom’s heart, doesn’t it? Such a sweet thing to say.
It was a very proud moment. My sweet boy.
Oh my that’s sweet! I would have cried, too!
I know, right? Especially after just hearing all the other cool stuff that makes up our bodies and my little guy goes with heart. Aw.
Such a sweet kid. They always know how to get us.
It’s a good thing, too, right?!
That is just so sweet! I love it when kids say things like that! Bathtime is always an adventure in our house. I swear there is more water out on the floor than in the tub, but its such a fun time and so worth the mess!
Here too. It’s a good *clean* fun. 🙂
That’s the sweetest thing. I love a dad and his boy. I’m not sure who makes my heart melt more in those situation. 🙂
Awww….how sweet!! Sometimes it’s the little things that catch us mommies completely off guard and cause those random tears. I’ll have to check out that bath stuff. My kiddo would love that!
