His Own Private Swimming Pool

All was calm and happy in the Ormsby home on a Friday night. Nathan and I were cooking the pancakes for our traditional "Pancake Friday".
Then the kids came running.
"Elijah's in the toilet!! Elijah's in the toilet!!"
Nathan ran (I dry heave) to clean him up.
Silly us, we thought when the kids said he was in the toilet, meant his hands were in it. (That's what our other 3 kids have done)
Again, SILLY US. Nathan called out, "Jenn, come look".
So I came, afraid of what I was going to find.
I was completely right to be afraid.
And yes, I threw up a little in my mouth!
He sure had fun though, splashing and kicking! YUCK!!

That makes me laugh so hard. I've never been treated to quite that experience with my kids. How long did he sit in the bathtub that night?

I think he's really just inspiring you to keep your toilet REALLY clean! Nice job, Elijah.
