55 Flash Fiction Friday: Bathing Promotion by Food Chain

I crave it on rare occasion, so Sophia and I shared a meal. Who knew it would promote bathing? The bath time push isn’t an official one therefore no equipment is supplied, but I think the responsibility is implied when certain meals are advertised for children. McDonalds BBQ sauce should come with soap and towel!

Flash Fiction Friday is hosted by g-man. You may also visit Flash Fiction Friday 55’s, a blog dedicated to hosting 55 Flash Fiction Friday posts.

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!”

She hates it again

Sophia is back to hating bath time again. Last night’s bath she didn’t like at all. The following pictures were taken last week. Last week’s bath she was ok with. She didn’t even mind the hairdo I gave her.

It was when we brushed it the right way that she became upset…

“I don’t want my hair to look like daddy’s!” I guess she likes to look like Baby Don King.
