Bath time

Well let's start by saying that Wayne loves taking baths. I think that is a major understatement. Wayne is crazy about baths. I can start running the bath water and no matter where in the house Wayne is he will make a bee line, as fast as his crawling will take him, to the bathroom. I can't even imaging how quickly he'll get there when he can run. But then Elsa is only steps behind simply because she takes the time to go to her bedroom and strip down first.


I want to try to get some video of bath time with Wayne but as it is it takes all my energy and attention to just handle Wayne. Spalshing is his favorite activity followed by putting his face in the water. He starts out by squatting down and then with both hands smacking the water in front of him with all his might. The water showers over him and all over anyone in proximity which of course would be me since I don't dare leave his side. I generally spend much of this time holding a towel in front of me so I don't get completely soaked. It doesn't seem to matter what toys are available for him to play with these only distract him from splashing for a minute or two. Wash clothes have been banned from the bath. He likes to take these and splash with them. So imagine him squatting down swinging his arms up over his head then with all his might hitting them on the water. Then imaging this same manuever with a wash cloth in hand the amount of water sprayed is impressive.
