Sweetness








Their first ~ and probs last ~ bath together. We have a big old tub off the playroom that never sees any action. Buby switched to the upstairs shower last year, and Bleu did the same around Thanksgiving. If you remember, she developed an intense fear and loathing of baths around 3 months. So for many months after that, it was an every-other-day nightmare for both of us, despite my bestest efforts to make it relaxing and fun for her. Since she started showering with me Bleu hasn't cried once. Literally, no more tears. Only happy giggles, warm waterfalls, and a squeaky clean babe.



So imagine my surprise last night when Buby {while sitting on the potty} asked me if he could take a bath. Perhaps because he was feeling all sluggish. While I leaned over the tub to prep things, Bleu crawled up next to me and started bouncing excitedly and banging her hands up and down. Huh? She wanted IN. There was no mistaking it. Buby was tickled at the prospect. So I grabbed my camera, stripped her down, and set her in the baby seat that we've had for 3.5 years and only used once. The two played and splashed and laughed and put stacking cups on their heads. Go figure. Not sure it will ever happen again, so I'm glad I shot it.
