Bath Time with Allie

Guess what. Our last bath with Allie was wonderful!! No screaming at the top of her lungs, no looking at me like "what are you doing to me and how could you be so hateful," and no running around like frantic trying to get her to calm down. It usually goes like this: Undress Allie, hand her to Michael, talk to her so sweet and show her rubber ducky until we get a smile, Michael slowly lowers her into the water, Allie's smile turns to a frown, then the tears come, then the yelling and screaming, then she turns beat red, them mommy and daddy tag team her to make bathtime over as quickly as possible!!! I even let her play in her bathtub during the day in hopes that it will help our poor little dumplin during her baths. However last time, we showed her rubber ducky, slowly put her in the water, anticipated the screams of horror, but they never came! We even got a few smiles before Michael took her out of the tub, dried her off, put her diaper on her, all without one little cry! I hope to our good Lord that this is the start of happy bath times! Today is bath day so I will have to post how she does!
