BATH TIME

This little story should illustrate just how much this kid loves the water.

We'd just returned from the beach and were getting things ready for dinner. Kristen mentioned to me, to take Tobin up and give him a bath so he'd be ready for bed later. I finished whatever meal prep I was helping with, and headed upstairs where I could hear Tobin talking to himself as he played.

When I got up to where he was, I found that he was actually in the bath tub, water running - though no plunger in the drain - and was sudsing his hair. The water baby took it upon himself to get into the bath, get the water running to the temperature he liked, and even started washing himself!!

This was the first time he ever took matters into his own hands and started and gave himself a full bath. Though it's a regular occurrence anymore. In fact we have to fight with him, and limit him to only a couple baths a day. More often than not he can be found trying to sneak a bath, just to play in the water. Needless to say, nights that we go as a family to the pool are just about the best thing we could do for him.
