Bath Time

After dinner it's typically bath time.  Hyrum is already half naked from his messy dinner and Camilla gets bored quickly. Hyrum stands at the side of the tub as I run the water. His legs dance and he bounces up and down anxious to get into the warm water to play. His arms go up as I slip his shirt over his head. The tub feels cold on his bare tummy, but he still looks up at me and grins. Soon I hear Camilla running down the hallway. Her shirt is half off as she enters the bathroom, followed quickly by her pants and undies. Her socks make it off just before her feet hit the water it seems. They start off with some splashing and sliding. Our bathtub turns into an ocean of waves as they play and giggle together. I lay Hyrum down on one side of the tub and wet his hair, then I quickly sit him up. I squeeze some shampoo on my hand just in time to turn around and sit Hyrum back down for the gazillionth time. I rub the shampoo into his hair as he squirms around and then lay him down for a quick rinse. As I wash his hair Camilla is holding up her squirt toys, "What's this one called Mum?" Then it's Camilla's turn. She protests of course, she's not a fan of water in her ears or on her face. It takes some convincing to get her hair wet, but we talk about other things just for distraction. As I wash and rinse her hair I sit Hyrum down a couple more times so he doesn't slip. Then it's time for him to get out. I wrap him in his cozy warm towel and grab a bottle of lotion as I leave the bathroom. Camilla continues to play and splash and enjoys having the tub to herself to practice her swimming. Hyrum plays peek-a-boo from underneath the hood on the towel.  As he flashes his sweet little grin  I get so excited for bath time to come again. Camilla sets her squirt toys up on the edge of the tub and pulls the plug. She then gets herself out and finds her towel which I placed on the toilet seat earlier. Then they run naked around the house for a while until I can wrestle them into their Jammies. 

A night well spent.
