Splish-Splash!
Amelie had always enjoyed bathing save for the first few weeks when she was still a newborn. But when she was in her 10th to 11th months, she started to dislike it. The mere sight of her tub just sent her shrieking and wailing. I had to improvise like using plastic containers and what not to entice her to stay put in her tub because bath toys didn’t do. If R was around, he would hold Amelie while I wash her up. Her struggles and wails often led to 5-minute baths and a wet mom and dad.
However, a few days after we reached Manila, she surprised me most when she all of a sudden changed her mindset over bathing. She stayed put until I finished the whole bathing ritual. Now, unless I take her out of the tub, she wouldn’t stop splish-splashing! A pleasant surprise indeed!

she’s maturing so fast in front of your eyes…now she loves bathing. i hope she doesnt grow up so fast that we wont be able to play with her…sabagay Tito Junnie is a child at heart….this pic can easily land Amelie a TV ad for J&J….:)

What a cute layout! I like her little poses.
I’m lucky. Mina took to the water like a fish, except without breathing underwater. heheh. No really, she loved it from the beginning. No matter how cranky she is, as soon as we put her in her bath tub, she’s as quiet as a mouse.

hi tin: that’s great! amelie’s got a love-hate relationship with water, or is it just the bathing ritual that she dislikes? he he. mina’s got the makings of a swimmer!
