how old is too old???

***This is one of the older pictures I have already on Flickr of both kids.....I think Princess is about one here and Bubba would be 2 1/2.***

I think my babies are growing up. Tonight while we were getting ready for baths.....a job that Husband has resumed......meltdowns were happening all over the house. We decided to do a bath in the "big tub" <----the Jacuzzi tub in the master bathroom.

One was flipping out because his backpack wasn't where it was supposed to be. The other was freaking out because she wanted me to do something or the another. So finally just to make things simple, I decided to get in the bath with them. I could wash the Princess's hair quickly and be out of there quickly!

Yeah right, that was the first mistake I made. ....NO ONE gets a quick bath on meltdown nights. I was holding the Princess in my lap and all of a sudden she makes a lunge towards 'the girls'.....WOOAH! Dude, those things dried up long ago! I nursed her to almost 15 months of age....but still....it is long gone! Husband is making comments from the cheap seats outside the bath!

So, I guess the age has come, no more taking baths with them. They are 3 1/4 (do NOT forget the 1/4) and 4 1/2. So has the time come.....the end of just hopping in to get things done??

What age did you stop bathing with your little ones?
