I couldn't believe it! Here I was never missing a day, always filling their tub with lots of water, etc... . It never even dawned on me to do any different. If they have been playing outside and a quick wipe up will not do - they get about 5 gallons in the big tub that sits in the shower. I tend to think that out of necessity the large family actually uses the same or less water than the family with two children.

Then they go in the other room, take off their pants, come back in the same shirt and underwear and say, "Ready!" The next morning they put the pants back on and voila! The problem is sometimes I let them get away with it, so it is a random reinforcement thing :)<BR/>Prayer for Mercy and waiting to hear how everything went.LindaJeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10022598734430807752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8608196493085538902.post-44179657859599532872009-01-13T09:45:00.000-06:002009-01-13T09:45:00.000-06:00That is a good idea, especially when taking trips ...That is a good idea, especially when taking trips you don't have to stop to change them:) And in your case with all those kids I can imagine your laundry pile:) Good luck with Mercy.
