TOMMY’S FIRST BATH……………………….
Finally we are able to give Tommy a tub bath. YEAH!!! We are sick of sponge baths. We had to wait until the plastibell was off to give him a bath. Since the Dr removed it this morning we had a bath that evening.
Tommy was very good about the bath. He had been very cranky all night and of course I couldn’t get a burp out of him. He is a very hard child to burp. So we decided to try a bath. I got him undressed and into his infant tub. He was fine with it and didn’t even cry, but of course he puked. I knew he had a air bubble. DADDY, come help us!! So Daddy changed the water in the tub as it was gross. Mommy layed Tommy on the counter and of course Tommy peed on her. Doesn’t he always! He has such timing.
Then we were back into the tub. Tommy stayed in the tub for about 5 minutes or so. He was very content and seemed to enjoy the tub bath. This is much better than the sponge baths which he screamed through. Daddy took pictures of his first bath, which I will post when we have this roll of film used up.
I love babies and little children; your stories remind me of when my little brother was a baby and I was helping mom out with him.
