Bath Time is a Mission

From a recent post on Facebook:

Bath time at our house is an adventure. I get Paris started with her shower. Then while she is getting her hair wet, I run to champ and Silas' bathroom and get champ in. Then Silas and I head back to Paris to help her wash her hair. While she washes that out and bathes the rest of her, I run to Champ and get him soaped up. While he is washing ... See Moreoff, I run back and towel dry Paris and instruct her to get her night clothes on. Now back to Champ, help him get the spot he misses on the back of his head and get him out and dry him. It is usually in the middle of dressing him that Paris comes flying out of nowhere running around like a wild woman and gets the little man (Silas) worked up and running all over. After I get Champ dressed and bedded down, I start the search for the other two. Now the usual hiding place is under Paris' bed, which makes it easy to get her in her bed and prayers said. WHEW almost done! Now it is just a matter of bathing, dressing, and bedding the littlest of team destruction. Now here is the most important part. If you jack up this next step, you're doomed! Slowly close the door to Silas' room and tippy toe down the stairs.

Paul, this is hilarious! I have some really funny mental images of you scurrying around tending to wet children. Now you know what I went through - but I only had two sons to corral, whereas you have three, one of whom is your princess.
