Splish Splash I Was Taking A Bath

Posted on April 5, 2012 Written by Tonya

We always color the water, tonight it’s green. Bubbles are optional.

Be careful.

We spell out his name with rubber letters.

No slashing.

We sing songs.

It’s slippery.

He blows bubbles.

Please don’t drink the water.

He floats on his back fearlessly.

That was great!

We laugh.

Watch your head.

He makes a beard out of bubbles by kissing his hand.

5 more minutes.

He fills up cups and bowls and dumps water on himself.

We’re all done!

We make Cars “leak oil” and make inappropriate noises.

Time to get out.

He prunes.

Inevitably I get wet.

He may not always get a head to toe cleaning, but there’s no denying we love bath time!

      I dislike baths tremendously myself, but Lucas (clearly) loves them.

    Ooooh, we have fun at bathtime, too. Now I think I will start doing colored water…

      I’m not a fan of baths myself either, but Lucas sure likes them.

    So fun! What do you colour the water with? I think I’d be too anal to try that. 😉

    I love the coloured water idea. Can’t find bath colouring here! These pics are fantastic! Sadly, the girls mainly have showers now because we have less time. I think I’ll go back to giving them baths, at least on w.ends. I love Lucas’ cute little face <3

      I could send you some! It’s fun to soak. Although, I have never liked baths myself.

    Bath time is always so much fun for kids. If only every little thing in life could be such a blast for us adults.

      I know, wouldn’t you kill for that much fun out of something as mundane as a bath?

    I miss when my son loved baths:( He used to love baths and then all of a sudden, he didn’t. I don’t know what happened. Enjoy it:)

    We have evenings exactly like this. Sometimes it’s just fun to take a bath and play. Then there are times that the bath just gets us through the whining and buys us the few extra minutes until bedtime.

    • Tonya says

      April 17, 2012 at 3:03 pm

      Exactly!!

    Bath time is a big, fun deal here too. Daddy washes Eddie, Mommy does Charlie…but all in the bathroom at the same time. E asks EVERY TIME if Charlie is big enough yet to splash with him. aw!

    • Tonya says

      April 17, 2012 at 3:04 pm

      Soon, Eddie! Won’t those be cute pictures?

    April 13, 2012 at 8:57 pm

    Oh my gosh, sooooooooooo cute!!!

    Mason loves playing in the tub but lately has been demanding showers. Those are much wetter and less amusing on my end….

    • Tonya says

      April 17, 2012 at 3:05 pm

      Lucas can only shower with one of us, but I prefer the containment of the bath.

  17. Leah says

    April 16, 2012 at 5:24 pm

    Great pictures! I especially love the one of his face in the water! So cute! Bath time is always a good time with Lucas indeed!! 🙂
