Cooper usually sits next to the "controls" and Carver usually does the splashing. It's not unfamiliar to hear "Mom, tell Carver to stop splashing in my eyes!"
Carver's newest trick is standing up. I have sternly instructed Cooper NOT to push/pull him down when he does this, but tell me if I don't see him.
Last night, Cooper didn't want to get in the tub (I gave up that argument awhile ago...he never goes more than a day or two without.). So, I started Carver's bath and Cooper hung over the side playing with him, while the water ran. Cooper shut the water off when brother's feet were covered.
Pretty soon I hear, "Mom, Carver's standing up." So, I peeked my head around the corner and said, "Carver, sit down." Then I heard, "uh, gr, %^&$%&", followed by a slow decent into the water. A minute later I hear, "MOM, Carver's standing up." So, I peeked my head around the corner and said, "CARVER. Sit down." Then I heard, @#$ @#$^ #$%#, followed by a slow decent in the water. A minute or so later I hear, "MOM, CARVER'S STANDING UP!" So, I walk into the bathroom and say, "CARVER, SIT DOWN!" And again hear, "@#$% #$#$% #$%#$%", followed by a SMILE and a slow decent into the water. (Oh, and somewhere in there, I told him to say cheese for the following picture!) This could be interesting...

Cooper eventually got in last night, just as Carver was getting cold and ready to get out. So, I took Carver out, and told Cooper he could let the water out and run himself new warm water. I took Carver to the boys' room to get his pajamas. By the time I got back to the bathroom, Cooper had dumped half of my full bottle of body wash (which was a splurge buy in the first place) into the running water. The bubbles had only just began. I ripped the bottle out of his hands, laughed, and then told him "no more". The following picture really tells the rest of the story...

The bath ended like a shower just to get rid of the bubbles!
