Disaster Averted

As busy moms, we all love it when our kids reach the age when they are old enough to be left alone in the bath, especially when the kid loves to take a bath, and will stay in there until there isn't much left of him.

Disaster #1,478,532 averted.

Until next time, the trouble maker will be planning. . . stay tuned.
