Happy Face Time

Evan has been difficult about bath time lately. He used to enjoy taking a bath with Lincoln, but then he slipped under the water or had water dumped on his head by Lincoln one too many times. He decided he didn't like baths in my tub. The next two times I tried to entice him, he held firm refusing to take a bath. Next I tried putting him in the tub by himself with no older brother to splash water on him. He was quite happy...for five minutes and then he stood up and refused to sit down and play in the tub any longer. Viva came in to take a shower after gymnastics and asked to join him. Evan got really upset when she got in the tub, so we took him out. Out he came while Viva stayed in the tub. Lincoln joined Viva and after his shower Bentley joined them both. When Jake came into the bathroom I heard this conversation:

Jake: Can I get in?

Bentley: It's getting a little crowded!

Viva: But look at all these happy faces!

Jake joined the trio and Evan happily stood outside the tub and played with the bathwater from that position until his mom took him away before he tumbled into the tub.
