Finally! Jules tought to her self. she had finally been able to put both Ava and Nathan down for their afternoon nap.
Jules was finally able to get into the shower and enjoy some time to herself.
usually whenever she was home alone and was using the bathroom she would always have little fingers and toes peeking in from under the bathroom door. followed by mouses from her kids playing.
on one occasion Jules hadn't noticed Nathans little fingers poking from under the door, and when she went to open the door Nathan wailed immediately at the pain of having a splinter inserted into his little pointer finger. Jules of course felt bad that she hadn't noticed her sons fingers under the bathroom floor.
but yet when was a mother ever really given a moment alone.
Nathan in the other room had stirred asleep and had started crawling to the room where his mommy was at.
Nathan had managed to crawl his way into Jules master bedroom and into her and Sams bathroom.
Nathan let out a gathered gasp and giggles when he could see his mom through the shower glass mirror.
Jules wasn't sure if she had imagined or was just use to her son or daughters constant laughter, but when she could hear something banging against the shower door she peeked out and was surprised to find her 7 month old son sitting up looking at her with his baby blue eyes.
"Sweetie your supposed to be napping aren't you?" Jules asked Nathan and all her son did was grin his beautiful little smile.
"well guess I better hurry up, before u start getting impatient."
Jules continued to shower as quickly as possible. when she turned around to wash the soap that she had in her face Nathan uses that exact moment to try and crawl into the shower stall.
"monkey, what are you doing?" Jules asked noticing her very adventurous son try and hop in the shower with her.
"Well guess your gonna have your shower with me sweetie." Jules kneeled down in front of her son and removed his soaked clothes and tossed it In into the corner of the shower she turned down the temperature of the water as well, so little Nate wouldt burn himself.
"24/7 job huh." Jules said referring to the fact that she never once could truly get a moment to her self even when Sam was around he helped a lot but there was one thing that not even Samtastic could do. and that was breastfeeding.
Jules continued to watch as nathan played with her toes as she finished showering off so she could start on Nathan's shower.
"Your turn, eager little monkey" Jules said and picked nathan up and held him to her chest. she expertly retirived a baby wash cloth along with the baby soap and with one hand supporting Nathan and the other cleaning him off she was able to clean Nathan off quickly and effectively.
Jules hovered under the shower head for a few more minutes enjoying how Nathan would try and catch the water drops with his tiny hands.
"Looks like were going out burrito status" Jules retrieved her robe from the side of the shower hook and placed Nathan on the floor to quickly pull on her robe she then cradled Nathan to her chest and wrapped him around with her robe. she quickly made her way to the nursery to first change Nathan and check on Ava at the same time.
while Jules was changing Nathan, nathan had fallen asleep again. "You must have tired yourself out with that shower of ours." Jules finished with Nathan and laid him in his crib and turned to turn the baby monitor on and walked out of the nursery and walked by Ava who was still sleeping in the middle of the hallway like Nathan had also been doing.
Pleased that Ava was still content, Jules walked back to her room and quickly changed into sweats and a t-shirt. She was laying in bed and trying to give herself a pedicure she was relived and felt stress free and baby free for just a few minutes.
Ava woke up trying to figure out her surroundings she was in a narrow room and couldn't really recognize anything...so all she could really do was start crying and hope her mommy or daddy would help and rescue her from her own little nightmare that was her very long hallway.
As soon as Jules heard her daughter high pitch screams she cared less about her still wet nail polish and ran into the hallway. Jules picked Ava up as soon as she got to her and rocked her back and forth to try and calm her down while also whispering soothing words to her.
Later that day when Sam arrived home from work he plopped himself on the couch next to his wife and placed Jules feet on top of his lap.
"Babe, did Ava paint your toe nails or what?" Sam asked and couldn't help but laugh at the mess on Jules toenails.
"Sam! being a mom is a 24/7 job!" Jules quickly snapped back and slapped his chest.
Jules thought to herself...
Woman do always put their children and their needs ahead of their own and definetly ahead of their pedicure.
