North Carolina: Cousins Take A Bath

On our way down to Hilton Head, SC we stopped off in North Carolina to visit our favorite cousins Seth, Mary and Baby Clara. Clara just turned ONE (!) and she was showing off her eating and walking skills (this girl can eat).  She also manhandled her cousin Owen a little bit while we were there ;)  She pushed him off her ride-on toy and took away his snack trap. Owen was happy to share and honestly I don't think he wanted to mess with her ;)

Mary wanted a bath picture with the cousins, I was a little hesitant because Owen takes a bath in a toddler tub (read: Owen lays back in a huge plastic bathtub inside our bathtub, filled up to his neck with bubbles and gets sponged down while he relaxes. He occasionally plays with his ducky but would much rather just lay back, relax and be washed. SPOILED!) so he is a little fearful in a large tub. Clara Jane showed him just how its done, first you throw all of your fun toys in (including a turkey baster) which Owen enjoyed doing very much. Once they were in he stayed relatively still while cousin Clara crawled all over the tub, handing him different toys to play with and screeching with joy. Owen didn't say a single word or move a muscle. He mostly just stared at her.

Just as we were about to do a final rinse on both kiddos, Mary lifted Clare out and there they were...

THREE. HUGE. TURD-LOGS.

As they drifted over towards Owen, I scooped him up laughing hysterically. We took both kids to the other tub and they each got an individual re-bath to get the pooh off.

Moral of the story: Clara Jane you may have the upper hand now, but pooping on your cousin will be mildly (horrifically) embarrassing story when you are ages 16 and 17, respectively. And family NEVER forgets these things.

 Because who DOESN'T take a bath with a turkey baster?

THREE play together at bath time

Owen's favorite number is THREE! He shows us three fingers and says "THREE!" all the time (even though we have worked on counting... one...two.. three...four... he just really likes THREE! He actually doesn't hold up one finger anymore when we ask him how old he is, only three!)  During bath time Owen wants the wet wash cloth over his face. He squeals and holds his breath as we count to three and then he grabs it off and gives it to us to play again. He could seriously play this game for a half hour. It totally cracks us up and earlier this week Jeremy said, "This is so cute, I want to take a video but its probably considered child abuse..."

At the risk of CPS being called, we decided to take a video last night after TONS of bath time giggles.

Here is our game... THREE!
