More often than not I don't shower alone. Usually I have at least one but more like three babies with me in the tub and I've had up to six at a time. . . really. I'm used to it and it doesn't phase me anymore. I've forgotten what it's like to have the luxury of showering and going potty without an audience and it really doesn't bother me. The more the merrier seems to be our theme when it comes to keeping ourselves clean and that's just fine by me. But sometimes they start fighting in there and if you've ever been shoved in a shower you'll know that it can be quite slick and hazardous and there's definitely nothing more slippery than a naked baby lathered in soap sliding down the tub between everyone's legs. So the other day in an attempt to entertain fighting children in the shower I sprayed some shaving cream on the wall and wa-lah! Instant fix! And it didn't just fix the problem but it was really fun too. You can draw just about anything in the shower with a dallop of shaving cream, not to mention practice writing numbers, letters and shapes. And when you're done, you just hose it off (or if you have a spray bottle handy, let the kids do it themselves.) And it's white so it doesn't stain the grout or leave a big mess on the kids. So for the past several baths with the babies we've used a lot of shaving cream and we've added at least a few more cans of it to our shopping list. And I just wonder why I didn't think of this sooner. If you haven't, you definitely should or at least let your kids try it--they'll love it, I promise.
It sounds lkike its all good and fun. i used to use a kid friendly bath foam from walmart they could do the same thing with, and it never stained either. The shaving cream just seems like it would be really youcky if it got into their eyes or mouth form another sibling hitting it too hard. My kids were always in the Faom spray. it was the best intising way to get them to the tub. I' stuffed stockings FULL of the fluffy stuff. Check in the bubble bath section for the spray foam cans. i think they are about $2-3 each and they do go a LONG way.
