Bathing Beauty

Taking a bath is still not one of Natalie’s favorite activities. We have a variety of treats (bath paints, bath crayons, bubbles, etc) to entice her into the tub. She likes all the treats and seems to like sitting in the water, but heaven forbid if it’s too hot or too cold! The worst part of the bath is washing and rinsing her hair—she hates that.

Our latest trick to get her to wash her face is giving her a bubble beard. She gets a kick out of having a beard like Daddy and looking like Santa Claus. And when she wipes the beard off, her face gets clean!!

"See my beard?"

"Pffft!"

"Oh my!"

"Yay!!"

I know from these pictures, it looks like Natalie is having a great old time in the bath. As soon as the hair washing starts, she looks like this:
Sad girl

Lucky for us, when the horrible, horrible rinsing is over, she looks like this again:

So happy!
