slippery little suckers...

joe and i spent a friday evening recently wandering around babies r us. yes, a friday evening. dinner, trip to baby store, watching a movie at home. please do not be jealous at how obviously busy our social calendars are. normally on friday nights we are out til all hours, partying with the best of 'em. just not this particular friday.
we were two aisles in (after a LONG pause at the monitors section) when we came to the bathtubs. joe immediately decided the idea of a baby bathtub was ridiculous, and he said that we could just put some water in the tub (the regular tub) and bathe the baby there. the slippery, wiggly, teeny tiny newborn in a giant tub. not to mention bending over or kneeling over the tub. joe is convinced we can either do baths in the regular tub or the sink. the sink, i think, is a fine idea. but truly, whose sink is clean enough often enough to bathe a baby? so i guess this is my plea for someone to give us a bathtub as shower gift. :)

Well,this is something i feel very strongly about. The baby tub is such a benefit. Getting a tub with a lean-too rack is even better. No one can hold a little baby well enough to also clean them. It would take two parents to hold and clean the baby and that cant always happen. The sink is not clean enough nor is it big enough to provide adequate space for a baby. Have no fear sister i will provide the baby tub is no one buys it before me. The sink is not clean and the real tub has no support and once you try kneeling and bending over the side you will never do it again.
