Bath Times

I love giving the kids baths. There is something magical that happens during that time when you can really see kids in their elements. This was the experience the other night.

Ryan- put him in the bath and he lays still for about 1 minute, smiling the whole time. Once the water touches his ears he'll start talking to himself. I am sure this is because it sounds so different in the water. He will kick and splash and let out long, happy sighs. Haley WAS NOT like this at 4 months. She was either worried or crying and if any water even touched close to her face, it was over. Ryan's favorite part is being wrapped up in a hooded towel afterward.

Haley- She got herself undressed, used the restroom and started the faucet by herself. I assisted in getting the right temperature. She hopped in the bath and picked up two ducks right away. They started talking...
Duck #1: Hi there duck, do you want to read a book with me?
Duck #2: sure! what book?
1: How about the 3 bears?
2: sure
(duck 1 tells duck 2 about the 3 bears)
1: ok. the story is over. wanna snack?
2: do you have any grapes?
1: let me check (swims to the other side of bath and comes back) yep! let's eat! (ducks eat).
1: Do you want to fall in love?
2. Yes
Ducks kiss and then dance in the water.
Apparently you just need a good book and a snack to fall in love. That sounds about right.
I love bath time.
