Alden Loves Bathtime

They say you shouldn't bathe your child more than 2 to 3 times per week when they are really little. It dries out their skin. But, whoever wrote that... Did you have a child who loves bathtime?? There are some nights we put him in the bath just to relax him. Alden LOVES his baths.


The other night, I got his bath all ready, put his Johnson's Head to Toe baby wash in the water and got Alden undressed. While we were walking into the bathroom, nakey and all, he started kicking his legs and breathing hard. He was very ready for bath time. I set him in his baby tub and washed him up, washed his hair and rinsed him clean. We sat there for about 5 minutes more because I know he loves to be in there. 5 minutes is a really long time. The tub is in our bathtub. So, I sit on the side of the tub, roll my pants legs up, stick a leg on each side of the baby tub, put one hand under his tush to hold him up and soap him up with the other. This position isn't bad if it was wash him, get him out, off we go... But, my poor legs start to cramp up a little! But, it's worth it!

When bath time was over, I started to lift him out of the tub onto his towel. He started crying. Alden doesn't cry too often unless he is hungry or hurting. I thought something was wrong. I bundled him up in his towel and went to change him into his jams. He was so upset because I pulled him out of his tub! :(

I think I have a little water-bug on my hands.
