Sammy Vs the Bubble Monster
Sam loves water and he especially loves his bath! We keep things mixed up for Sam. It keeps things interesting for him… and for us by varying our routine on a nightly basis.
And that is an important tip folks: vary the routine, don’t break it. Babies love their routines and it keeps life manageable for the parents. Fighting it will just make things worse, I know, I tried. So, find ways of varying the steps you go through enough to keep you sane, and your kid won’t be lost in his daily habits. Preaching done, on with the post.
So, some nights we give him his shower and others it’s a full-on bath, complete with bubbles! Now, babies are curious by nature and tend to discover things by looking, touching and then tasting. The first time we put bubbles in his bath, he went right to the tasting! Down went his hand in a big scooping motion, and up it came with his fingers full of the sticky little bubbles. A moments hesitation on my part in wiping the suds away and it was too late, they were gone! Swallowed by the sparsely toothed maw, they never had a chance. Sam made a face and never tried to intentionally eat them again.
We’ve given him a bunch of baths with bubbles since then and I just don’t know why I hadn’t thought of doing something like this to Sammy before. Bubble hair! Let the games begin! Man it’s fun to being goofy parents! We can have this kind of fun and he’s too young to know any better!
I think he liked having his head soaked in suds. Check it out in the gallery below. It starts off with a little dab of suds… then the bubble monster strikes!
Is there a baby under there?!?!
Chat’ya soon folks!
- We start off easy with a Marge Simpson doo
- Then the bubbles slid down his face…
- …into full mutton-chops. Elvis is his later years???
- We then attempted to rebuild the beehive…
- …and it lasted for a while.
- The Alfalfa style was next… look it up :)
- Sam then saw something he wanted…
- …and after all the fun we had, he got his wish! Ducky!
