Daddy Bath Day - January 7th, 2010

Thursdays used to be IHOP night but since the winter is upon us we stay home. I will have you know when the weather breaks we are back at IHOP on Thursday nights! So with nothing to do Thursday night has become Daddy bath night. Now if you could see how organized and systematic Mommy does this you would understand why she is a little worried when "CJ" and I get ready for bath time.

So you have to see this girl/ As soon as she touches the water she begins to cycle like she is riding a bicycle. I pause and ask her to stop. She continues to kick because it is funny to her. I tell her to stop but she looks at her Daddy and begins to chuckle like a drunk man at a bad joke. So what does Daddy do? He joins in the laughter and attempts (but fails) to stay dry.

We then go to the next phase of bath time and which is to grease her up like a turkey and get her sleeper on. Tonight we handle that without incident. Sometimes she might pee on the pamper or the changing pad or even you if you're too close. From there it was off to the task of putting her to sleep. Now Mommy usually goes in the room, closes the door makes it silent and dark and nine times out of ten she falls asleep before CJ. Daddy on the other hand stay in the living room and watches television. Tonight CJ and I watched the College Football National Championship. Well CJ did get to see the first minutes of the first quarter because soon thereafter she was knocked out. I laid her in her crib and I am out here enjoying the rest of the game alone.

So another Daddy Bath Night came and is now gone. Tonight I would give myself an A-, simply because it was a little later than it ought to have been. However, it was a success! So I am going to enjoy the rest of the game. You all remember to pray because prayer changes things. Tonight even though they are down, I still say Hook Em' Horns!

Note to CJ: Just wanted to let you know that today you wore your Giants dress. Even though we did not have a great season we support Big Blue. Next year when I buy you the next size up you will rock it for a winner!!!
