Mohawk Madness

It's unfair when you think about it.  Babies have no say in the matter.

We shape their wet hair into mohawks, take photos and then giggle to ourselves.  We've done it to Adam more than once because he has a lot of hair.  Tate has had the special treatment on occasion. Even Ashley has had the 'do too.

It was finally Noah's turn.  If you ask me, he looks more stunned than anything else:

Clean as a Whistle

Noah is as clean as a whistle!  He may not like coming out of the bath at first, but then he warms up to his moisturizing massages:

What just happened?  Where did the warm water go?

It's massage time?  Yahoo!

Tate's Tub

Tate loves a nice warm bath just before lunch.  He's all dreamy while he eats and then takes a nice long nap.  Here he is sporting a wild 'do:

Mr. Clean

In preparation for our return, Grandma and Papa gave Tate a nice bath. May we present to you:  Mr Clean!

Cozy Robes

Ain't nothin' better than a warm, fuzzy robe after a bath:

Post-bath hair

It's rare to catch Adam hamming it up for the camera.  Karla coaxed out the best in him for this series.

Cat in the Hat Bathtime

The sun did not shine.
It was too wet to play.
So we sat in the house
All that cold, cold, wet day.

I sat there with Ashley
We sat there we two
And I said, 
"How I wish we had something to do." 

To wet to go out
And too cold to play ball
So we sat in the house
And we did nothing at all.

And then... 

Something went splash!
How that splash made us giggle!
Mommy threw us into the bathtub.
In our wet clothing we wiggled!

(Yes, this is what happens to a blogging Mommy who is stuck inside with two toddlers on a wet, cold day.  She dreams up photo ops based on the books they are reading.  For those who haven't read it in a while, this poem is based on the famous Cat In the Hat by Dr. Seuss)

Who knows which toddler story will appear next in our blog?

Bunny Bathrobes

Our cousins in Israel sent us these wonderful bunny bathrobes.  Ashley didn't mind posing for the camera, but Adam was getting a little bit tired because it was bedtime.  Ashley didn't want to take hers off!

I'm missing whiskers.  Do you have any?

I'm tired and I wanna go to bed.

I have floppy ears!

Splish splash

Splish splash the citizens were takin' a bath
Long about a Saturday night, yeah
A rub a dub, just relaxin' in the tub
Thinkin' everythin' was alright

Well, they crawled out the tub
And put their feet in the air
Daddy wrapped the towel around them 

And then Mommy combed their hair.

There was a-splishin' and a-splashin' 
Reelin' with the feelin' 
Movin' and a-groovin' 
Rockin' and a-rollin', yeah, yeah

Bath Time for Sophie

MLM loves eavesdropping on the citizens' conversations.  They're so cute!  No foam was ingested at any point in this sequence.

Adam and I are going to give Sophie a bath in this tub.

First take out all of the toys.

Let's use this to rinse her off.

Hmm... flimsy side wall construction.  We'll fix that.

Ashley, help me find something to strengthen the tub walls.

What about these?

Yup.  They're strong enough.

Good idea.  Let's get a lot of them.

Mommy, can we have some water please????

Freshly Washed
