Commercials for baby soap and shampoo make it look like the baby just sits in the tub or sink and enjoys the bath. No muss, no fuss. Well, you know what? That isn't exactly how it goes. Wet, soapy babies are slippery little f*ckers. And once a grandpa teaches her how to splash, all bets are off.
Here is a secret - I hate bath time with Jillian. It is stressful, wet, and hard to do. She is good enough, but it isn't that commercial where you use the lavender sleepy time bath soap and she calms down and goes to bed. No, it is splashing diving under the water spout, insisting to stand up, being dramatic when your hair is washed...and then being anything but calm. Diving around, scooting away when she sees her pjs insisting on combing her own hair....
Needless to say, we just finished up bathtime. J is sleeping peacefully and I am doing the Sunday rituals of washing sheets, running dishwasher and tidying up. Don't be jealous

That baby is so cute, I wish I could help with bathtime!!! I know that when my dog needs a bath he gets v. sad and tries so hard to slip away. Only he is more agile than the baby, lucky for you!
