Splashtime with Britanny

Bathtime used to be a nice, quiet time for Britanny. It was a nice, calm beginning to her bedtime routine (in other words, it set the ball rolling every night for the few hours of sleep continuously interrupted by a waking baby). That’s what used to happen. Not anymore- we now find ourselves with a baby who has discovered the joys of splashing. She doesn’t just splash with one hand or one foot. No, she does the worm in the water, causing all excess water to come straight towards her bather (ME!). You may enter the bathroom dry, but there is no way that Britanny will allow you to leave the bathroom without having been the victim of a tidal wave. The only time she is calm (or at least washable) is once she has the shampoo in her hair. I suppose she understands that any movement would result in shampoo in her eyes- something which no person would ever want, let alone a sensitive baby.
Although Britanny splashes right now, she seems to pick up skills rather quickly. You have to wonder what she will come up with next in the bath- where do you go after learning how to create a tsunami in your bathtub? Hopefully she will learn to play with her water toys, not how to soak Mommy from head to foot. Here’s hoping…
