Bathtime

Bathtime around here each night is pure chaos.... Ella thinks she is too big to take a bath and likes to take showers....with me halfway hanging in the shower and getting soaking wet, it's interesting. Emmecat loves her bathtime. Her favorite thing to so is shake her head no at any question we ask her....even if it's not a question. For instance: Tonight, Cameron and Ella were gone to the school, so it was just me and my little one. We played outside, then walked over to see our neighbor, and then played outside some more. I asked her at least 10 times if she wanted to go in and eat dinner, and of course, she shook her head furiously no each and every time. Me: "Em, are you hungry?" Em: shakes head no Me: "Em, are you thirsty?" Em: shakes head no Me: "Em, do you want to go in and see if Daddy and Ella are home?" Em: shakes head no Me: "Em, do you want to go make a big mess inside?" Em: smiles and shakes her head no Me: "Em, let's go inside and see Bayley and Lua (the pups)" Em: shakes head no Me: "OK, you are about to get mad but mommy needs to cook dinner, so we are going in" Em: falls out crying while shaking head no We came in and I open the pantry to get her something to snack on while I cook. After a bit of fighting, she gave in and ate, then I fed her some real food, and she devoured it. It was from her hair to toes and all over her highchair. As soon as this child eats, it is straight to the tub. Me: "OK Emmecat, let's go take a bath!" Em: starts to squeal and runs (in the cutest waddling way) to the bathroom So in about a 2 hour span, she finally didn't shake her head no This kid loves bath time. It has to be her decision to get out. There is no other way but Emory's way. I think we should all get use to this.....it's been this way for almost 15 months now. But look at this face...... precious, I tell you! :)
