1st Real Bath

The above slide show is of pictures from Riley's first submerged bath. Both the hospital and our pediatrician recommend only sponge bathing until the cord has completely fallen off, and despite my minor home surgery last week, Riley's cord did not come off completely until he was five weeks old. So we finally broke out his bathtub today. At first he was skeptical and the first few pictures look as if he is about to get very upset, but then after he got in the water he began to calm down. He never cracked a smile, but he did relax a bit, and we did survive without any crying!

That 2nd picture after he has be submerged is classic. He looks just like you. It's that scared-about-to-poop-my-pants look. It's brilliant. I laughed for like five minutes.

I love that the kid is going to be as dramatic as you are. Props on the strategic placement of rubber ducky...he'll thank you for that one when he grows up!
