Thomas' First Bath


Aside from getting little wipe downs from baby wipes, today we got our first bath! Oh boy he did not like that!! LOL I got a little Winnie the Pooh toy that cheers Thomas up that he seems to like and likes to touch, so I put it in the little tub we bought to bathe him in-I used the little thermometer-measured not too hot and not too cold, put all my supplies I needed in reach just like a responsible mom should do { actually Tom was there for me to get the stuff because I needed both hands to hold Thomas up and wash him at the same time- {it was in reach , I just couldn't reach out and hold and bathe Thomas at the same time- that would require skills a new mom like myself just didn't have yet to be perfectly honest!}How did it go do you ask? I think he screamed and cried as loud as when he got circumcised! and I heard him all the way down the hall at the hospital!I was like " yup! that's my son!" I tell you one thing, this kid, has got some PIPES!When he opens his mouth to cry? LOOOOKOUT! He just lets it fly!!!And there's no consoling him! He'll just cry and cry you'd think he was being murdered! He does not like water. But he's gotta get clean so we'll just make it a quickie. Then some lotion,and some powder and a dry diapie , and we'll be all good. But my goodness! the fuss he puts up what a first picture this'll make- the puss on his face!LOL! Oh well. It'll make a good story for later on.Maybe he'll grow out of it and learn to like baths. After all- he DID spend 9 MONTHS in liquid no? You think he'd be totally used to it by now....like second nature..ahh well lets see what the future brings..
