Carly has really begun to enjoy kicking her legs during bath time. At the end of bath time last night I think there was an equal amount of water outside of her tub as there was in the tub. This led my mom and I to make an executive decision about bath time - It was no longer to be held in the kitchen. Bath time needed to be moved to the bathroom.
Tonight Carly took her bath in her whale tub; however, it was sitting inside the tub in our master bathroom and not in the kitchen sink area. After putting her in the tub I realized this was a VERY SMART executive decision. I didn't particularly enjoy sitting on my knees and leaning over the tub to bath Carly, but I was very thankful that when she kicked and splashed the water went into the larger tub and down the drain. And oh did she kick and splash tonight. After getting her all washed up my mom and I sat there just watching her play and entertain herself. Kicking and cooing, smiling and twisting.
So after watching Carly entertain herself so very well, we were able to pull the plug and walk away. No more cleaning up the splashed water or moving the tub and her other bath accessories from the kitchen to the laundry room. It now is all just staying in the tub ready to be used and played in tomorrow night.
(All of her excitement did make her extra hungry - she ate an extra two ounces at bedtime tonight.)
