Bath Time

It's great that Harrison is now sitting up on his own because I can sit him up in the tub instead of laying him down. The past couple of weeks his feet have been hanging over the edge. We've been giving the kids their baths at the same time so since it's a bit difficult and risky to have Harry in the tub with Addie we fill his little tub up on the floor next to the big tub. We have to line the carpeted floor with lots of towels because he LOVES to splash the water.


Addison loves playing with her little duckies in the tub these days. She lines them up on the edge of the tub and covers their heads with a wash cloth and calls it their hat. Also now that her hair is longer we love to make funny hair-do's especially mohawks. She is now finally understanding and following through with laying down in the tub to let mommy and daddy rinse out her hair. For the longest time we have tried getting her to put her head back to rinse out the soap but she always looked down and we ended up having to douse her head with water and she usually gets really mad.

Another trick we recently learned was to start using the "bedtime" bath soap with lavender in it for our night time baths. After the bath we lather them up with the lavender scented lotion as well in hopes that it will calm them and zonk them out for bed.
