Bathing

Bathing with Tobias has always been one of my favorite things (among many others :-))... I just recently realized that we haven't been bathing as much as we used to because last year Tobias had some sort of fungal rash and the doctor told us to limit the baths to about 3 a week. Up until that point we took a bath pretty much every day! Well, he is over his rashes but we haven't gotten back into the daily bathing routine...

These days we take a bath every other day, but now, it is double the fun! And sooooo unbelievably adorable, as you can see in this picture. It is not only that Tobias is holding Lorelei while we're in the bath, but he also helps washing her. His favorite thing is washing her hair. He is so incredibly gentle when he does that. He just rubs her head with his fingertips and the palm of his hand. He then rinses her hair by taking water into cupped hands and letting it flow on her head, all the while being very careful not to get any in her eyes. It is sweet!!! Oh yeah, and he has the patience to wait with playing with his bath toys until Lorelei is finished and out of the bath.....

Like I said, bathing is twice the fun now and perhaps that will be the incentive to get back into a daily bathing routine.... :-)
