Bathtime.

Some say it's relaxing,
       for others a pain...

but for a little girl
    {who's nearly 2.5}
 it's all about the bubbles,
splashing,
     toys that float & squirt,
  warm water,
&& of course
        washing the dirt.

Your encouraged to draw on walls
    & put soap to your chin
Laugh, play
& sport a big grin.

...but when Mom comes into
this wet, little bathroom
            where you've now had your fun,
 with her {as big as your face}camera
and socks on her toes...

  She is greeted with flying foam
from your little hands
                && a floor so wet
  that her socks are banned.

She can't get mad,
         no that would be wrong,
because we all know inside,
    {living a little} is most important, lifelong.

Sweating the small stuff
               is for the faint of heart,
&& teaching your child to
        {enjoy the little things}
while there're young
      is a very great start.
