Fun in the Tub

My girls have always enjoyed the tub. I am so glad they do because it is such a fun part of our day. I can't imagine having to force them to take a bath. They love to splash and play and they don't fight us when it is time to get out. It amazes me that they don't throw a fit because I know how much they like to be in the tub. They love to draw pictures with our tub crayons and then wash it off the walls with the wash cloth. They also love to lay on their bellies and have mommy and daddy "chinch a butt" or have their sister sit on their back. They think it is hilarious.

We have a routine and they know it. After supper on bath nights they run to the bathroom and can't wait to peel their clothes off. They sit for about 5 or 10 seconds on their froggy potties once they are naked but never really go to the bathroom. They are just too excited to hop into the water. After the bath and playtime we get them out of the tub the way my grandma always got me out of the tub when I stayed at her house. I sit a portion of the towel on the edge of the tub and they turn around and face the back wall and sit on the towel. Then I wrap them up and give them a little smooch on their nose. I always used to say that I was holding them like a little baby because when I get them out now they always smile and "lilla beebee". Then I clean their nose and ears with q-tips and head to their bed room. There they lay on the ground so we can put on their diapers, load them up with butt paste for the night and then put the sweetest smelling lavendar lotion all over! Then it's into their jammies and head to Mommy and Daddy's room to blow dry their hair and brush their teeth. Once they smell like heaven and are all ready for the night we all snuggle in our bed for a little bit and watch Dora. After Dora, we read a few books and head to their room where we give everyone kisses and tuck them into bed. Lately they have been asking to give me "peek-a-boo kisses" through the slats in their crib. They pucker up their cute little lips and give me kisses. Melts my heart!

So that's probably more than you wanted to know about our nights but I love them and wouldn't trade them for anything in this world!
