Bathtime

Eric and I are playing with his camera, trying to learn more about photography and get better (considering we have such great subject matter).

He decided to try his hand at capturing some tub-shots with all the water, action etc., and he got some pretty good ones!

Though--I have to admit, Amara is PRETTY comfortable in the water. We're not sure if it was having her in swim lessons young, the daily baths, or just lucky (though she is her mother's daughter, so maybe I have rubbed off on her) but she'll spend anywhere from 10 to 45 minutes in the bath each night.

Recently, she's wanted to share stories or things she "can do" with daddy--so mid bath, she'll yell "dadddddddyyyyy" to him downstairs, and up he'll come. She'll point to the commode and say "sit," and he'll sit and watch her show off for him (see "Daddy and Bean post), tell him about her special soap--show him Tigger, Piglet, and Pooh, and all her other friends.

She's also recently started hiding or playing "find me" if you can call it that. She'll hide behind a curtain or blanket exactly long enough for you to ask where she is--at which point she'll pop out and giggle contagiously.

In fact--an issue I'm pretty sure a challenge not many parents face, is finding new bath toys. Rather than "regular" toys--we are always looking for new things for her for the bath--I guess we'll have to stock up on pool toys in the summer!
