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.

Just wait until he poops in the tub! You'll love to be a part of that one. :)

Penny pooped in the tub once, and like you, I bathed WITH her at that time.

GROSS.

She hasn't done it since, though, and now she's old enough to sit in the baby tub without me. Whew!

We were one of those unlucky families where the little baby didn't like bathtime. While everyone else was singing the praises of bathtime to calm their cranky newborn, we HATED it. Once she hit about 4 months, though, she turned it around and now it is a highlight of our day. Whew!

Congratulations on your new baby. I found your blog by selecting "Next Blog" at the top of Blogspot... just for grins. Architecture and Football? Blah! But then I saw new baby talk and you made me laugh and smile in appreciation for happiness in new parenting - well it was just the ticket. I needed a fun cap to a bad day. Baby farting and bathing. Nothing better!

Good luck newbie parents. Kenzo. Cutey little name.
