Good Clean Fun
Now that Sophia sits up and can stand on her own for almost a minutes I’ve ditched the bath seat for a rubber suction cup bath mat. She loves the new bath time freedom and butt scoots all around the tub. I first gave her this freedom a couple weeks ago, but the night before last was the first time she tried one of her mealtime booster seat tricks in the tub. Imagine if you will, an infant sitting nekkid in the tub. Usually girls don’t create their own personal showers like little boys do, so you really don’t know if you’re ever washing them in their own urine. Maybe you can if there is a lot, I don’t know. Sophia was sitting in about three or four inches of water with her feet in front of her. Her legs weren’t straight in front of her because nothing extends straight out on an infant except their arms and then it’s only when they’re reaching for something you’d rather them not have and you aren’t really looking but know they simply couldn’t have reached that from over there, but I digress.
She’s sitting with legs in front, knees slightly bent towards her sides. She leans in towards the water with her mouth open and touches the water with her tongue. She did this repeatedly. The water was soapy from washing her, but all I could think is, “mygod I hope she didn’t pee!”

No worries. It’s my understanding that, unless you have an infection, urine is sterile. Gross, but sterile. *giggle*

Oh ya, Gavin has certainly had his share of pee water too! He likes to scoop the water with his toys and drink it like from a cup. Nice.

Why don’t grownups take more baths? We need some splashing around time, too!

Yes, very gross.

Sarah – Ack! you mean I get to deal with this past infancy and toddler hood? I think I’m going to gag.

sheasy – most bathtubs are too small for grownup splashing around time. I go swimming.

I’m totally jealous! I need a good, long soaking. Where is the time?
BTW, you’re an awesome writer! Keep it up!

Secola – You know the four hours of wasted time spent sleeping? Try that ;P hehehe I’m usually debating between – should I play on the internet or sleep.
Thank you for the complement.
