Bathtime Buddies

Bath time!!  Those two words spark elation in children while striking fear in their parents!!  The kids love a chance to splash, be naked, play in bubbles and all the other fun things associated with bath time.  However, for a parent, it is a lot of work--bathing, rinsing, drying off, putting on lotion, pajama time, and then cleaning up the bathroom.  With three kids, it can consume a large portion of the evening.  I generally try to streamline the process by bathing two at once.  Now Abby likes to give herself a shower (but I still have to rinse her hair) but Jude is now old enough to be in the bathtub with Micah.

Although I usually am soaked through by the time baths are over, I couldn't help but enjoy bath time the other night with the boys!!  Sometimes the days seem really long, but the years are short.
