I took these pictures right before I just about lost it on Juliet for (once again) splashing water too aggressively on James, me, and then outside of the tub after I repeatedly told her to stop. As I look at them now I wish I could be one of those super fun and care-free moms that doesn't give a sh** that water is all over the bathroom, but I'm not so I just have to work harder to be more patient.

When my frustration rises, Juliet says to me (practically on a daily basis now), "Mommy, are you upset? Count to four. One, two, three, four. Do you feel better?" I need to remember these wise words from a two year old more often. Sigh.
