Big Gulp!

So the other night, William and I decided to put the girls in the big tub to bathe together. Since Morgan is doing so fabulous with her sitting, we thought they would be ready for it. We filled the tub with about an inch of water and threw in a slew of toys and two little girls. They weren't scared at all. They were having a blast. William turned the faucet on to see how they would react to the falling water. Morgan wasn't so sure about it so she moved to the other end of the tub, but I wouldn't say she was scared or bothered by it. Maddy was having so much fun putting this and that toy in her mouth. I was trying to wash their hair as they crawled around in the tub. As one would pass by I would scrub a little and then they would move away. It was so much fun and felt a lot more like playtime than the chore that bathtime can sometimes be.

Here's the funny part. We have this cup in our tub that we use for pouring. We were using it to pour water over their backs when they passed by but somehow Maddy got ahold of it. It had some water in it and she proceeded to pick it up and drink from it, like a big girl. She of course choked on the water because it was too much for her and she is used to us controlling the amount of water we give her from our glasses, so she wasn't expecting that much to come out. William had to get her out of the tub to help her and she turned all red. But she made the funniest face after that drink. It was like it was so satisfying in some ways and it was so shocking to her in others. It was just so cute. We managed to snap the following picture and don't they always say, "A picture is worth a thousand words" :)

I always love bathtime pics. They look so cute!

Brayden has done the same thing with the cup we keep in the tub. He never seems to learn his lesson, as he does it again and again. I just realized as I wrote that that perhaps we (Chris and I) haven't learned our lesson either because we keep leaving it within his reach.

They look like they're having so much fun! Happy Belated Birthday, by the way.
