Ali had her first bath on Tuesday night. (I mean a week ago Tuesday. I wrote most of this last week, but got distracted and just got back to it today.) She definitely enjoyed the warm water. I have to admit that I am very impressionable and believed the Johnson and Johnson ad. You know the one about their bedtime bath routine where you see the baby in the bath, then the mom rubbing lotion on the happy, clean baby afterwards? It says it relaxes them and helps them sleep. Well as much as Ali loved the bath, she hated everything that came afterwards. We got her out and wrapped her in the cute hoodie towel. She was not really thrilled with this. Then we took her upstairs to do the massaging lotion portion of the routine and get her dressed for bed. Based on the screaming, I am guessing she did not find this part at all relaxing. For now bathtime does not include lotion, nor does it happen at bedtime!
