Rub-A-Dub-Dub Two Gremlins in the Tub...

Boys,

This evening, you two were being little terrors. When the sun goes down, you guys turn into Gremlins. Suddenly, there are two little green monsters causing chaos all over our casa.

At 8:59 p.m., you guys look like this...
Cute and cuddly...

But, when 9:00 p.m rolls around, you turn into one of these...
Terrifying little screaming nightmares...

On some nights, we attempt to rectify this transformation from super cute and cuddly to terrifying, screaming nightmares by taking you boys on a leisurely stroll around the neighborhood. The walks will usually calm you pretty well. But, tonight...it just wouldn't work. The walk made you even more angry. You guys were too hot and sweaty in the stroller to continue to roll.

The Gremlins were screaming, crying incessantly. It was crazy. So, we decided to bathe your guys to see if it would calm you down. You guys always liked the bath, but we hadn't tried to put you in when you were losing your dang minds.

With a little apprehension, we decided to pursue the bath time idea...
And, what do you know...RUB-A-DUB-DUB time worked flawlessly. Which isn't usually true for Gremlins...if you didn't know that, then I don't have time for you. When Gremlins get wet, they multiple and become holy terrors.

But, this time, the crisis was averted for both Gremlins. Within minutes, the Gremlins were gone.

Boston calmly lounged in the bath...

And, Braxton did too...

Although he was a little nervous when mommy's hand was flying in like the Flash to clean his double chin.

After the baths, you both were extremely happy and smiles were everywhere.
Happy boys in hoods! 

I love you guys as much as you love your bath time.

Love,
Dad

    1. Am I sure? Am I sure? Seriously?

      I haven't slept in 72 hours, so I am not sure of anything. Maybe I was the one that was mad.
