Splishety splashety!

Bath time has changed so much since Little Bear was born. She screamed all the way through her very first one… which, in retrospect, may have been because the water was, like, 70 degrees. After getting mad at Papa for very tentatively and politely questioning my parenting abilities by saying that it was too cold, I checked the internet (of course) and he was right. When we got the water up to 99 degrees, she was happy as clam. We started out using the baby tub with a sling in it on the counter, then we moved the baby tub into the bathtub, then we took the sling out. By this time, she was flailing and kicking so much I thought she’d flip herself right out so we graduated to using just the big person tub. I realize this is now getting into the “who really cares” zone but please understand that I’m using this blog for my own memory as much as anything else. In any case, sitting up was a problem until we got this squishy mat. Unfortunately, our bathtub floor is textured so the mat doesn’t actually stick but it solves our problem until I think of something better. And boy does this little girl love the water. She would be happy to stay in it all day. Unfortunately for her, bedtime comes right after bath time (and reading time and snack time) because Mama has important things to do in the evenings. Like updating her blog.
