Cozy Babe

I tried it all and still couldn't get Bleu happy in the bath, so we graduated to showers about a month ago. It works. I jump in first while she's still in her crib just beginning to stir. I warm up the water, wash, shampoo my hair. Then I dart out to grab her, wrap her in terrycloth for traction and head back in. Bleu never cries in the big shower, even with water running over her face. She feels secure in my arms. When she's clean as a whistle I turn off the water, throw on my cozier than cozy Pottery Barn robe and wrap her inside it. Then I sit in the glider, lay a warm quilt over us, and nurse her skin-to-skin before getting dressed. I treasure these times.
