New Super Baby Feats

"Keep your eye on me at all times!"

We love baths at our house. Daddy bathes the kids every night. Thank heavens Mommy's belly doesn't have to get high-centered on the edge of the tub every night.

Isn't Ben wonderful? Yes! So I use the time to do relaxing things like washing dishes and finishing up laundry. The other night I was peacefully scrubbing a frying pan when I heard Ben exclaim, "Nicole! What are you doing?!?!?!" Uh oh. Then Jonathan ran up the stairs, to tell me that Daddy wanted the camera. Uh oh. Rinse hands, grab the camera!
What's wrong with this picture? Nicole already had her turn in the bathtub, thus the pajamas. But apparently she wanted to play some more and figured out how to climb into the tub - very quietly. Ben was brushing Jonathan's teeth at the time. Until I showed up with the camera, Nicole was just happily playing in her soaked pajamas. But with Mom and camera on the scene, she knew something was up and began screaming.
"It's okay Nicole!" She finally calmed down after I peeled off her pajamas and the waterlogged diaper. We'll watch her a little more closely now after her bath, not just during.
Like I said, we love baths!

Lindsay did this once, too! So funny, but a little scary, huh?

That is too funny! Especially that she didn't cry and think it was any big deal to be in the tub with PJ's on until she saw you with the camera!

So funny!! Way to train Ben to do the nightly bath routine! Ky actually usually bathes the kids too. But so far, I've only convinced him that they need them every *other* night. :)
