Rub A Dub Dub, 3 Baileys in a Tub!

Call it structured chaos if you will. 3 babies under 2 in 1 bathtub. Lots of laughter, lots of water sloshing over the side, lots of tidbits of songs being sung and lots of Charlie "dives" into the "pool"! Yes, the Bailey's love bathtime! It all starts calm! 2 dirty but adorable toddlers and a baby in a Bumbo!

But never ever, I repeat, never ever try to liven up bathtime with bubbles! The result is detrimental!! For neat freak Wylie, bubbles don't belong in a tub! What was I even thinking ?

Now, as if there isn't enough chaos with these 3 precious little ones, add an extra large, gigantic bouncy balloon to the mix with Charlie! Oh my! This "small" tub toy is not a nuisance at all ! And bless Baby Bess, I can only imagine what she was thinking about these strange people around her!

But, all good things come to an end!

After calming down from the bubble attack, Wylie always takes time to have small talk with her sister! I am sure the conversation is riveting since Bess find these talks highly entertaining! Her giggles say it all!

We may begin every bathtub experience a little dirty and create an even bigger mess in the process. Despite the sloshed water in the floor, the bubble freak outs and crazy confused stares from Baby Bess, in the end, we sure do leave spick and span! And isn't that all a momma really wants? Clean, healthy, happy babies!

I know there may come a day where bathtime is a more of a chore. I hope that never happens but if it does I hope I always look back and can remember days like this. Days of little hineys and chunky baby fat rolls. Days of Johnson & Johnson and bedtime baby lotion. Days of animal hooded bath towels draped on little heads. I love bathtime and pray I always see it as a treasured piece of a momma's nightly routine.
