Bath Time

Looking back, I'll never forget the day when I was about 5 months pregnant and I suddenly realized I was going to have to change diapers.  When you are trying to have a baby, you think about everything.  The costs, the lifestyle changes, the sleepless nights, the style of parenting you want to attempt (yeah right).  But for some reason, this small responsibility took me by surprise.  I think I called Melissa in a panic, something like "I'm going to have to change diapers!?!"  And so I started thinking about the other small chores that came with raising a child.  Bath time was specifically one chore that I was dreading.  After a long day, who wants to deal with washing a dirty baby, drying him off, diapering and applying lotion, and read him a book?  To a very pregnant woman, it sounded like a lot of work.  But now, my attitude definitely has changed.  Bath time is my most favorite time of day!  I love how we no longer spend the evening in front of the television and instead, enjoy of few special moments winding down as a family.  Here he is, caught in the act. 






And in a completely unrelated topic, here is how I caught Kirk walking Gabriel in the jogging stroller.  Please don't call Child Protectives Services on us.  I told him it was a no no.
