Journal Excerpt

News just in: she doesn’t just love her bath. She goes crazy over her bath. She is a little bathing maniac. Kneeling next to her bathtub is like sitting in the splash zone at Sea World. The way she slaps the water with her arms, kicks her little legs, arches her back and wriggles her butt is practically diabolical. She laughs, real laughs, which I’ve decided is my favorite sound in the world. It was possibly worth going through labor to hear that sound.

I think part of her happiness in the tub has to do with how she loves being naked. Put her down on the changing table, unwrap her diaper, and she goes absolutely bonkers. Huge grin, legs kicking like a soft and chubby baby frog. She absolutely hates getting dressed, which makes cold weather difficult. She must get this from D, who would wear shorts and flip-flops every day if he could. I’m more for cozy sweaters and long jeans. Nope, E is a summer baby. She would probably stay naked in the tub all day if she could.
