We LOVE bath time!

The part of the day that I enjoy most with the kids is bath time. It is a specified time that I am able to spend a little bit of one-on-one time with each individually. Even if it is just for a few minutes, it is our time.

G3 was the first to get a bath tonight. She was so excited to get in the water before I even had her completely undressed. Once in the tub she just used her little hands and splashed away. She was so happy to be able to play for those few minutes in the water.









G2 was second in the tub. She waited very patiently for me to get done bathing G3, but then she was ready to have some fun in the water. She likes to lounge back and splash with her feet. At one point I had to get her out to stop G1 from doing something and she was NOT happy at all. But you can believe she was very excited to get right back in.
G1 was last tonight. He however did not wait very patiently. He kept trying to jump in the tub with his sisters, he kept putting soap on his hands to try to wash up, and he even played in the toilet at one point. But once he was in he had a lot of fun. I don't get as much quality time with him during bath time because he is able to bathe himself and he doesn't like help very often. But tonight he did let me give him a bath.


I use the time while G1 is finishing playing in the tub to put lotion on the girls and get them dressed for bed. Then once he is ready to get out the girls play so I can put lotion on him and get him ready for bed.
Bath time is a great time for us, as long as G1 is behaving himself (which normally he does during this time, but he does have his moments).

  1. That huge smile on Gretchyn's face is sooo cute! She sure does love baths! My two have just started liking baths more, they hated them until we took them swimming once and they figured out splashing was pretty fun :) And Gavyn in the toilet! -- guess it's the next best thing to the tub...
