Bubba-Napping 101

Today was a drama day. We are always busy on Mondays doing not-so-fun stuff (if you are 3 1/2 or 2 years old). It is laundry day/bathroom cleaning day once again and I managed to get both the Prince's and the Knight's bubbas and throw them in the wash. The Knight was devastated, but his bubba was stinky! I feel mean, but Bubba was only out of commision for a little over an hour. The Knight and his Bubba were reunited after that and all was right with the world. We had a nice Monday morning. The Princess woke up very nicely and was ready to go back to school. She has had a sub for a month because her teacher had an operation. Teacher is back at school today and all is right with the Princess's world. The Prince didn't like me washing his Bubba either but he got to put the soap into the washing machine and throw his Bubba into the dryer so he was OK with it. Lots to do today and not much time to write. I will add some pictures of the boys and their Bubbas post Bubba-bath!

The depths of dispair

There are few more traumatic days in our house than when it is Bubba washing day. All three of my kids are blanket babies. They each have a special blanket, they each love their special blanket, and they each need to know where their special blanket is at all times. Even if the blankets' locations are known, to make my kids happy, these blankets must also be easily accessable to them. Enter Blanket (Bubba) Washing Day. My kids are pretty rough on their Bubbas. The Knight especially likes to chew on his Bubba. This is fine I guess, but it sure makes for a stinky blanket after a few days. So today after catching a whiff of the Kinght's bubba, I distracted him and kidnapped the Bubba. It was not until Bubba was 1/2 way through the wash cycle that the Knight remembered Bubba and wanted him - NOW. The Prince apparently was not on my side today because he happily volunteered the Knight's Bubba's location. Well, the Knight threw a fit. He cried, he begged, he pleaded, and in the end he started hitting me to get his Bubba back. Well, after placating him with a Dora the Explorer, The Knight and his Bubba were reunited. I wish I could say that the Prince handles his Bubba getting washed better than the Knight, but that is just not the case. Sigh. At least the Bubbas are clean for now.
