Rubber Ducky You're the One!

Mr. Dane does NOT like baths...until now! Let's rewind...Up until my sister came to visit last weekend Dane has been getting bird baths...I didnt submerge him in water, just wiped him down with a washcloth. I guess I was just kinda nervous to do so, and felt comfortable with the bird baths. He was clean - so i figured it didnt matter! Cindy was kind enough to show me how to give Dane a bath in the bathtub and he screamed the whole time!

Well, I tried myself yesterday to give the dirty boy a bath (he had three "out the diaper up the back" poopie diapers in a row and was starting to stink...hee hee) and he hated it at first, but I sang to him and kept smiling and telling him it was ok and fun! Soon he started smiling and splashing in the water and really enjoying himself! It just goes to show you that babies really depend on their parents reactions to things to know how they should react...I am sure if i wasnt singing or talking to him or smiling he would have kept screaming his poor little head off!

He will get another bath tomorrow so we'll see if he remembers how fun it is! Maybe he will even play with the wonderful toys he has for the bath too (thanks Aunt Cindy! He loves the doggie wash glove thing!!)

Enjoy the pics of Aunt Cindy trying to give Dane his first bath in the "big boy" tub!! Doesn't he look relieved to be outta there and in his froggie towel? :o)
