After I read bedtime stories to my 3-year old and before prayers, she always wants to go to the bathroom (even when she doesn't need to). It is probably a good thing but by that time of day, I am so ready for some alone time with my husband, that I tend to be a little impatient. Lately I've been doing my cat-cow breathing exercises (from yoga) while I wait for her. When she comes back, I'm doing downward dog and she crawls under my "tunnel", saying it's just like a carwash (we go to the drive-through kind). It makes me laugh every night and now it is something I look forward to instead of something that irritates me. Plus I think it makes her hurry, because she knows she has something to look forward to too. :)
