Bath Time

I attempted to give Jordan a bath by myself the other day. We are establishing routine in our lives and bath/sponge time is a consistant part of our everyday routine. I got everything out and ready for her bath.

This means:

• her bathtub with water


• two bowls: 1 with water, 1 with soap


• two washcloths


• a cup


• shampoo


• hooded towel

I got her undressd and we headed for our bath. As soon as I put her on my shoulder she began to spit up all over herself and my arm. I cleaned that up and we went for round 2. She then got the hiccups and I didn't want her to spit up again so I wrapped her up in a blanket and we sat and waited for the hiccups to go away.
We decided to try for round 3. Got her up and ready and just as we were heading into the bathroom, Jordan proceeded to pee over everything I had gotten out and ready.
This included peeing in the bowls with water and soap, on the washcloths, on the hooded towel which was on the bathroom floor, and on the bathroom floor itself.
I had to then clean up everything and refill the bowls, get new washcloths and towel, and clean up the bathroom floor. After which we were finally able to get a bath.
I think Jordan secretly thought to herself that she was not going to make this easy for Mommy. We have since had bath time very successfully and I think we have both been able to even enjoy it together. I love being a Mom!
