Washing Hands

Ask:
:muahahahah: Another great idea I found for little ones. A new way of getting them in the habit of washing their hands after using the bathroom. Put two different type of soap out for the kids. Then after they wash they can come to you and test you to see which type of soap they used. It makes it fun instead of it being a chore they dislike. The only downside is for the kids that like playing in the water and will use it up just playing around. I am going to try it for my daycare kids and see how it goes.
Answer:

That's really a great idea, but yeah...my dd is the "play in the water" type...
She already does the "smell my hands" thing after washing her hands...she likes to "smell everything" like her Mom! She even likes the smell of my dish soap and will get up there and DO MY DISHES sometimes!! HOW did I get THIS lucky???? (Bet it won't last until she's 15!! )
Answer:

You are very lucky!
