Cacher the Splasher

Like I said...Cache loves bathtime. Now, he loves him some water to splash with his buff baby legs. Our guest bathroom has gone from a relaxing, Hawaiin inspired room to...towel mania. Towels covering every inch of the floor, the counter and the cupboards. Why? Because ALL of that is in the splash zone. I am soaking wet by the time Cache is done bathing. I wouldn't have it any other way. I love it because seeing Cache have fun as he does the CUTEST things, are priceless. For example he will go stiff and then all of the sudden he'll go crazy splashing. He will always have at least one splash round when he focuses on his feet and he'll watch them go in and out of the water as they splash...then he'll stop give me a huge open mouth smile and start again. He will watch himself splashing in the mirror and laugh. When he gets tired he stops, gives a sigh of satisfaction, looks around and starts again.

10 Steps to bathing Cache:

1)Put Cache in the tub (not the bathtub...his baby tub that he is getting to big for. We already tried the other way and he hated it).

2) Wash Cache's hair while he sucks on his hand or my arm. Whichever is first to get latched by his mouth.

3)Wash the rest of Cache while he smiles at himself in the mirror

4) Scoot Cache back up (he tends to slide)

5) Get ready to take cover...basically you can't so you will get wet.

6)Watch Cache take a deep breath and get relaxed

7) (comes QUICKLY after step 6) watch Cache laugh and splash.

8) Vitamins...Splash some more

9)Scoot Cache back up...more splashing

10) time to come out of the bath...often followed by satisfaction or crying. Satisfaction if he feels he was given sufficient bath/splash time or crying if he feels adequate time was not given.

Let the splashin begin! (Even MORE water)


MORE water and dad shirtless due to the excess amounts of water.
