Jack loves the bath. He gets all his cars, the pet shops, cups and anything else that looks like fun to play with and in he goes. He always is telling me his belly is dirty to just get back in to play. The funny thing is he has started to have to sit on the potty before he gets in…he is a good observer. Before he gets in he always tests the water with his toes. It is funny to see him stick out his toe and barely touch the water and the expression on his face when the temperature has registered. “Hot” or “burr” is the next thing that comes out his mouth. Next he wants soap on his hands to wash his belly and hair, splashing water to get it off.
Now to business…the fun. I have learned to close the shower curtain half way as a splash proof barrier…more like trying to prevent a flood. Pet shops are flying through the air, cars are driving up and down the side, and water is being poured out of anything that will hold it. His new thing is to dive. He stands up, and dives into the water. Zac just saw him and asked how good our Health Insurance was? haha. But my favorite part about watching him play in the bath is when he catches a glimpse of himself in the faucet. He acts so surprised…”Hi Jack!” Like he had know idea Jack was in the bath. To cute!! Then just as quick as it all started…he is out the door running down the hall wet and naked.

Whenever my kids get whiny and grouchy I just throw them in the tub. For happy kids, just add water. I’m sure my floor boards are moldy from “floods”. He is so cute!

Boy, do I know what you are talking about! When I’m with him I just start the process with a towel along the tub because you know water is going to follow. But I really love it when he steps out of the tub and when you go to get him with the towel he’ll turn and run back to the tub and dive bomb into the water. He thinks this is a game that nanna love to play with him. Which I do! And your right, if he gets cranky just add water!

Oh we love our little Jackie!! Bath time is a lot easier than swimming at the pool. Just wait until he starts noticing playthings on his body!!! So much fun to try to stop!
