baby's first bath

Yes I have a 2+ year old and yes...this is her first real bath. Don't judge.
With my growing belly and Matthew's aging body full of aches and pains, we decided it was becoming too hard to hold her in the shower. The problem was that she has a terrible fear of water so any time we'd try to set her in the bath, she'd go ballistic! A few nights ago, we bit the bullet and tried to make her bath as fun as Disneyland. Finally, after she overcame her fears we could hardly get her out of the tub.
She's a little crazy about any crumb/fleck of dust/odd texture on her hands. Now if I can only convince her that when the bubbles stick to her hands, it doesn't mean they are dirty.

You are hilarious with "Matthew's aging body" comment!! If his is aging, mine must be dead and in the grave (and it feels that way sometimes!!) Post a picture of your cute little belly. Did you know my Megan is having TWINS? We are excited!!!
