A tale of woe.... Cody's First Bath

Since we lost the cord, we are all clear for the first "real" bath. So, assuming all is well, we collect everything...including baby...and get started. Not as easy as it looks folks...

Step 1 -collect the necessities. Yes, bathing is something we have experience with - however, you can never go wrong with a manual of instructions.


Step 2 - put naked, slippery baby in bathtub. Easier said than done... he doesn't like being exposed and without a diaper. And... he is a screamer.


Step 3 - Start washing, as he starts screaming louder and in a voice we do not recognize.


Step 4 - Increase speed of work before baby turns purple and loses his voice.

Step 5 - Pull baby out and wrap tightly with froggy towel. Baby still not happy... in fact he is mad at mom.


Step 6 - Hand baby to dad - safe at last! I hope for forgiveness from baby....


Cody says never again will he consent to such a horrid experience... clean or no clean! And we had better listen to him!


Baby clean, dry, fed and swaddled. Happiness again.
