Joe and I are bad parents. Zach got his first bath last night at almost 4 weeks old. To be fair, I had been wiping him down with a wet cloth, but we hadn't done a full bath with him in a tub. We kept putting it off since the experience was never fun with Kate. She cried and screamed the whole time. We got to be pretty good at baths in under 5 minutes. Kate was 16 months old before she seemed to "enjoy" the bath. Even now it can be hit and miss.
So, we were prepared to do the bath really fast last night...and I mean fast. In and out in a few minutes. It turns out our trepidation was all for nothing. Zach didn't mind the bath. He didn't start crying until he came out and was wrapped in a towel.
Maybe there's hope for fun bath times sooner than later!
