Splish, Splash, We're Taking a Bath

For the last couple months Alayna has just hated taking a bath. It has been screaming from when I start the water (before she is in the tub) till we have the pj's on and are going to bed.

Tonight was a success story.

I am not sure what was different, but she sure was! It has been so hard, and at times I think to myself; what am I doing wrong as a parent? Tonight she fussed when the water started, but shortly after I got her to play in the tub with bubble and even splash...I kept thinking oh, when is she gonna start to cry. I washed her body and hair and still no tears! I even was able to dry her off, brush her teeth, and get her dressed with no crying. That my friends was a huge accomplishment after two months straight of hating the bath-time. Now we will see if that stays or goes tomorrow night.

This Week

Well, this week we are going to have lots of play time for the girls. I am watching Natalie and Ben today and Wednesday. The girls should not be bored or be whinny! Unless, (like today) Natalie hit Aunika on the head with a toy penguin (hard) not a stuffed animal, but a hard plastic toy! I love watching the girl play together. Ben and Alayna just kind of watch the big girls and follow them around everywhere. I feel really bad for Ben, the only "boy"!

Tuesday we have gymnastics

Friday we are headed to nana and papa's in Cando, ND.

Aunika's Gymanastics Class

Practicing Tuck Jumps, it is never too early to start our cheerleading training! Just don't tell daddy, he thinks we are working on coordination for basketball!
