Bath Time

In the first month of his life, Cael did not like bath time at all. I would hurry as fast as I could to get it over with, with him crying and screaming the whole time, and that was mostly spit bathing at that point. When we went to the infant bathtub, he became braver, and now it is at least tolerable for him. He looks like a deer in the headlights each time I put him in the tub and his feet touch the water. I start singing to him, he looks at me directly, or at me in the mirror, and we are fine. I sing "We Are a Happy Family" and "You Are My Sunshine," both songs he loves. Putting him in his towel is great, seeing him so cozy. This particular towel, given to us by Candy Garcia, is soft and warm, and I just love his look here. He is adorable.
