Splish Splash Collin's Taking a Bath

Bath time has evolved from a check-the-box task to a 30+ minute ordeal. It comes complete with tons of smiles, giggles, squeals, verbalizing, kicking, splashing, and sometimes tears from bubbles gone bad (when he tries to blow bubbles but instead inhales the bath water). It is one of Collin's most expressive times of the day and I always wish I had my camera once Collin is already in the bath and I'm stuck. Tonight I finally had the foresight to grab it before I put Collin in the tub.

Waiting for the tub to fill up . . . and reading a book to pass the time.

Very serious even with bubbles on his head -

Playing with Noah's ark -

Happy in the tub, cape (i.e. warm, wet washcloth) on his back

Talking, singing, and squealing away -

After bubble blowing success, a proud grin -

Playing with toys -

Checking out his surroundings -

Posing modestly. And the final part of our nighttime routine - books, prayers and bed. Tonight, Collin wanted Baby Bear, Baby Bear, What Do You See read on repeat.
