Lately I’ve just been showering Morgan with me because it’s been easier, but I really wanted to give her a bath. So I finally cleaned the sink enough (and we bought a new stopper) and gave her a little bath in there. If you know how I feel about sinks, it should tell you something about how I feel about the bathtub that I’m actually bathing my baby in the kitchen sink. You do what you have to do. 
She had lots of fun splashing around and playing with the water, as always. Then she tried to stick things down the garbage disposal on the other side of the sink and I had to (a) stop that one pretty quickly and (b) suppress my gag reflex.
This rubber ducky is her favorite. We got it randomly–it was the Westin Kid’s Club gift when we went to Washington D.C. for Diana’s wedding. But we kept it and she’s always liked it. I also always sing the rubber ducky song when she gets in the bath, and she usually grabs the rubber ducky first.
I try to sing certain songs to help give a rhythm to life–so I always sing the same songs at bath time and certain songs when it’s raining, as well as of course the same bedtime songs. I need to increase my repertoire of songs for normal daily stuff though. Is there such a thing as a song for cooking dinner or cleaning? Maybe I’ll have to start making up my own.
Bri was given and jar full of different ducks as a christmas present from her Cali cousins and she loves those things.
She’s a doll!! Morgan is getting so big!!
You know I can come up with some songs, but you probably know how they’ll go already.
That’s a nice sink! She looks so happy in there.
Have you looked into the “I Have A Song For You” books by Janeen Brady and the Brite Company? They have great songs for like everything you could dream of. Just a thought. She is adorable!
I LOVE sink baths (being without your germaphobia, although I do bleach the sink before using it as a tub). I also love making up songs. Actually, I love it more when Olivia makes up songs with me – we had a recitativo going on today at the grocery store: Shaaaall we buy moooore bananas? – Yes, yes, yes! Help me piiiiick some!
Cute! Yes, I always had a little trouble with the thought of sticking my child in a sink….thank goodness for Soft Scrub! There’s the nursery clean up song, that one’s always good. But a cooking song…don’t have one for that yet.
