If Isaac were writing this he would say, "How dare my Mother ask such things of me. She knows I am far too busy with lego building and car racing to take the time out of my very hectic schedule to flush the toilet and wash my hands." (this is said with dramatic flare as hand is draped across forehead) Ok, that may be a bit over the top but its not a far stretch when it comes to my boy. If one word could sum him up today it would be DRAMA. I am glad that he stops long enough from his play to actually use the bathroom, but he feels terribly inconvenienced to be asked to flush and wash his hands. This is what he actually said to me earlier, "Ugh (he makes this "lovely" growling sound when he is frustrated) I have to do everything around here. I will NEVER get to play because I have to do everything!" Oh, poor Isaac. Your mother mistreats you with requests of cleanliness. Never fear I am doing my best to fight past that male gene that is rooted deep within that somehow makes them feel no need to wash away those icky bathroom germs. Watch out boys, I may have to sick my Infection Control Nurse sister on you!!

The Inconveniences of a Four Year Old

Yeah, you tell 'em!! I'm always on my family about washing hands and we have the alcohol gel around as well. My two teen boys think running their hands just under the water counts and I'll tell them that they are only drowning the germs...not getting rid of them! I've also caught my husband coming out of the bathroom without washing...they all roll their eyes at me, but I guarantee that we've all been much healthier around our house since the Infection Control Nazi took charge! :-)
