Baths

When I was a little girl,

I used to be afraid

of taking a bath.

I thought,

when the water went out the drain,

that I would go with it!

Glub, Glub!

When Kara and I were little, we had this set of Sesame Street books that had the above poem in it. Mom loved to recite the poem whenever she would give baths. While mom was never physically able to give Kendall a bath, she would come sit in the bathroom while I was bathing her. I would always have Mom "sing the bath song" to Kendall when I got her out of the tub.



Kendall LOVES bath time. The minute the word "bath" comes out of our mouth, Kendall says "Ba" and heads straight to the bathroom door. She will often climb over into the tub with all her clothes on if she beats us to the room! She doesn't have to have a lot of toys to occupy her, usually a cup, washcloth, and the sand pail will do. She will stay in the tub as long as we will let her-usually until her water is cold! She just LOVES it!

We've kept the tradition of the bathtub poem. Evan even sings it, but he likes to change the words. He says, "When I was a little boy, I was NEVER afraid of taking a bath!" I just laugh!

I look forward to the day that Kendall can sing it with us! :)
