I fought the tub and the tub won!

Well, if you have read any other blogs you will know we recently moved into a new apartment. I had wanted to get a bath mat but when I really thought about- Only old people fall in the tub so we don't need one. We have been here for about 2 months and have had no incidents. Until today!

I went to get into the shower and I slipped. It wasn't a big fall (no ambulance needed) but I hit my leg pretty hard. I kinda laughed it off, reflecting on my earlier thoughts on bath mats. About 5 mins later I was washing my leg and it smarted again. I looked down and was shocked to find a big lumb and bruise from where I had hit my leg. I haven't seen a bruise appear that quickly before so I went to show Jason, who proceeded to laugh at me. If I had a camera I would proudly display my war wound.

Sadly, that did not wrap up my bath tub incidents for that day. I put Aiden into the tub this evening after Jason went to work. We washed her hair and I got some soap on a washcloth so she could wash her body, just like we always do. I usually go and fill up the sink with water for dishes while she is in there so when she gets out I can do dishes. Our apartment is small enough I can hear her very easily playing and talking on her bath tub phone. I hadn't even made it to the kitchen when I heard a hysterical scream. I was horrified!!!

She had gotten soap on her little 3 year old hand and then wiped her eye. We all know what she was feeling but for her she was having new experience. I flushed it with cool water, got her out and then we kept a cold cloth on it for a while. She was fine in about 15 mins. but let me tell you, we certainly broke in our bathroom today!
