Nakiah has gone from loving bath time, to loving playing with her toys in the water and HATING "washing hair time"!! She is completely fine until I grab the cup to get her hair wet. She used to lay down in the water and let me rinse her hair all at once. For some reason that has changed and most of the time she screams when the water is poured over her head. She does not like the water "drippering" in her eyes.
Kicen has been pretty indifferent about his baths. He is a pretty laid back little boy, so easy going and easy to please. Since he's been sitting up, he is starting to enjoy bath time even more. He likes to splash the water with his hands and kick his feet to make waves. He too hates hair washing time. He gets pretty made at me, arches his back and stiffens up. Needless to say, it makes bath time in the big tub an adventure.
Last night Corey and I (and Kicen & Nakiah) discovered that bath time together is WAY more fun....and efficient!!
Nakiah liked throwing the ball at Kicen's head.....and Kicen liked Nakiah throwing the ball at his head and watching the water splash as the ball fell into the tub. For some weird reason, Kicen laughs hysterically when Nakiah hits him on the head with things. We have to keep a close eye on this little game due to the fact that Sister insists "Kicen like it" no matter how hard the object is.
Nakiah really wanted to help clean Brother. She kept scooping water in her measuring cups and asking is she could "dump it on Kicen's head."
The two of them played very nicely together and if I could get Kicen to stop lurching backward every time he got excited, bath time would be so much easier....and less scary for Mom.
