Cockroach

Last night after dinner I put Roux in the bath and went in to clean up and do the dishes.  He had been in the tub about 5 minutes and I hadn't even soaped him up yet and I hear this blood curdling scream!  I ran in there (the whole 5 feet away) thinking he had hurt himself some how.  He was standing in the corner of the tub with the water drained and still screaming.  I did a quick assessment of the situation and found nothing unusual until I looked at the other end of the tub from where Roux was standing.  There was a HUGE black slimy cockroach, about 2 1/2 inches in length, scurrying toward him!  GROSS!!!  I scooped him out of the tub and we both jumped when it started coming toward us.  It climbed out of the tub and I squished it while Roux was running the other direction still screaming.  I showed him I squished it and we threw it in the trash.  I told Roux to go get back in the tub so we could finish washing him but he backed away saying, "no no no".  I don't blame him, it was disgusting!!!

The rest of the night he kept saying, "squished bug" and stomping the floor.

That's a funny story. Squished bug! I love it! I'm loving my hair cut btw :) and I can't get over how much Roux is liking and know me these days!
