bipartisan hygiene

Dylan learned a lot about voting and the election process at school the weeks leading up to Election Day. He brought home lots of worksheets and coloring projects with donkeys and elephants in blue and red. His school held a mock election, as most schools do, and Obama won the election at their school. He also proceeded to tell every stranger we encountered on Election Day who I voted for. I wanted to take him to vote with me, but I rose at 5 a.m and just didn't have the heart to wake him up that early.

Every night at our house around 7:30, we head upstairs for the bedtime routine. And its become a part of the drill to ask the boys "bath or shower?". Dylan always prefers a shower, Logan always prefers a bath. We switch back and forth on different nights, since the boys bathe together, and then they both get their way.

So last night, as usual, the question of 'bath or shower' was presented. Dylan chanted "shower shower shower" while Logan retorted "bath bath bath". Then Dylan exclaimed "Everyone loves the shower! The shower is like the donkey! Bath is the elephant".

It took us a couple of seconds to draw the parallel, and then Andrew proudly observed "like father, like son."
