Bath time!!
When we were trying to get Evan to go to sleep easier, we decided that we needed a bedtime routine. Something that would relax him and let him know that bedtime was coming. So, we decided that a nice warm bath would be a great part of our bedtime routine.
When we first started the routine, bath time seemed to take forever and I wondered if maybe we shouldn’t have chosen such a long activity as part of bedtime. However, now I love bath time and I’m so happy I get to spend that time with Evan.
At first Evan wasn’t a huge fan of the bath, but now he LOVES it. He splashes around in the water and loves when I pour water all over him. When the bath water starts to get chilly and his toes a bit wrinkled, I get him out of the bath and dry him off on the floor. Then I slather him with coconut oil, while kissing his cute little belly.
After getting dressed for bed, we spend a few minutes playing in front of the mirror and combing his hair.
It sounds like such a simple routine, but it is just the best. Hopefully bath time can remain our time as he get older. Since I work all day now, special “us” times like this are rare.
What’s your favorite time of the day?
Do you take a bath/shower every day?
