Ahhh baths. I'm infamous for liking them far more than any human really should. Any opportunity to take a bath, bubbles or not, count my ass in. There's nothing more comforting, relaxing, and just down right flipping awesome. A couple candles, a glass of wine...need I continue? And don't get me wrong , I do enjoy me a good shower, but there's nothing comparable to a bath, especially one in an appropriately sized tub. So to me, a jacuzzi tub is like the taj mahal of bathtubs.
Well apparently my love of bathing is NOT an inherent trait. My bug, loves the shower. Put her in her little baby tub and she bawls uncontrollably, and not like a I'm-starving-feed-me-you-crazy-bitch cry, it's more along the lines of how I'd imagine she'd cry if she fell down a flight of stairs and landed in a pile of broken glass. And to a mother, this cry is HEARTBREAKING. How am I supposed to bathe you, little peanut, if you are crying so hard you're practically purple.
Now to get slightly off topic (but I promise it'll make sense VERY soon). The other day I was doing a photo shoot with her (yes, I'm totally crazy, I know. I'm one of THOSE moms), she was NOT feeling the whole naked thing. I had turned up the heat so high it felt like we were on the surface of the fucking sun AND had a heating pad underneath the blanket I had her on her just like they tell you to do for newborn shoot and this little girl was NOT having it. So what did I do to calm her down you ask? I sang to her. And not just any normal soft lullaby, nope, not this mama. For some reason "you are my sunshine" and "twinkle twinkle little star" had completely escaped me. So I sang soft kitty to her. YES. I'm being dead serious.
For those of you who have not heard of this song it's from one of my favorite shows, the Big Bang Theory. And it goes a little something like this: *AHEM* "Soft kitty, Warm Kitty, Little ball of fur. Happy Kitty, Sleepy Kitty, Purr. Purr. Purr." Short and sweet and not profane (which I'm sure surprised you if you haven't heard of the song). But that shit worked like a damn charm! So here I am with my camera shooting away taking pictures and singing this ridiculous song. And this baby is in a trance like no other! Now back to my original story, just like I promised.
Every bath time now requires a little karaoke on my part now. So anytime my stinkbug needs a bath, it's up to her little tiny baby tub we go and mommy sits there singing this stupid ass song. But guess what? IT WORKS. Lord, knows why, because apparently she could give a shit less about my little songs that I make up and sing to her (which are pretty damn awesome if you ask me).
But the best part of bathtime is definitely those ridiculously cute hooded towels. AH. Don't even get me started. Functional and adorable. Don't believe me? Here, take a look at the worlds CUTEST frog:
