Privacy

I'm not talking about the loss of privacy when you are having a baby. I'm not talking about private conversations. I'm talking about good 'ol fashioned privacy in the shower. It has been 10 years! And this morning, as I am showering with my gynormous belly, my little 4-yr-old boy who has an amazing memory, stands at the glass shower door with his scriptures in hand and wants me to tell him the story behind the picture he is holding up. I know we are supposed to seize the moments when such learning opportunities are on us, but it was 6:45am, I couldn't hardly understand his specific questions over the hum of the shower, I was completely void of all privacy (and I know Spencer will remember what he saw), I was tired and I just wanted to take a shower by myself, and I had an early doctor's appointment making this shower imperitave! Is five minutes too much to ask? I little privacy? Just while I am showering? Do I really need to seize the teaching opportunity while I am showering? Well, I asked for privacy from him I think a good ten times but to no avail. Usually he will give it to me, but not this morning. And then Danielle joins me in the bathroom. Ahhhhhhhhhhh! Followed by Camie. And then Taneal, who screams and immediately leaves. Nathan was still sleeping or he not only would have been watching me in the shower, but would have joined me in the shower. And in a few short days I will have another beautiful child to add to the mix. It will be at least another five years before I can shower privately. And usually I don't mind, but this morning was one of those mornings, that I wanted to keep the sight of my huge belly to myself and not have that image ingrained on my little boy's mind for the rest of his life. Good times!
