Bath Time

One of my favorite times of the day (or, every couple of days because we're durrrty like that) is bath time. Since he was quite young, (specifically - since his belly button was fully healed) Kenzo has been taking a bath with me holding him in the water, and Mommy washing him. (Sorry ladies, no photos.) So I have the good fortune of getting to dunk his lower half into the water, which he looooooves.

I had always heard that bath time was one of the harder parts of parenting, and who knows, maybe one day it will be. But this kid loves getting in the bath. He can be screaming, screaming like there is no tomorrow, and as soon as his toes hit the warm water, he looks up at the ceiling with this surprised look which soon turns into pure contentment.

We systematically go through each step in the washing process, which stays the same each time. All in all the baths usually take about 10 minutes but with prep and cleanup that usually turns into 30.

Bath time is one of those times that is different in every household, so I think its a pretty special time for everybody. It's a moment where there are no interruptions, no distractions, its just the family working together to clean the little guy and have some fun if possible. I think out of all the great and horrible moments that come with raising a child, bath time will be one that I remember most.
