When the girls first got here they both hated baths. Sophia realized pretty quickly that it was not that bad to take a bath. Not Bella. She screams and cries loud enough that the neighbors must think I am killing her. Bella actually stands at the bathroom door and cries when I give Sophia her bath — I guess sympathy cries. As soon as I start running the bath water Bella starts getting anxious and starts to fret. Sophia takes it all in stride now and I can’t say she loves it, but maybe enjoys it just a little.
Sometimes I think she looks more alert when taking her bath than at any other time.
She will actually turn around and around some days when bathing. She moves more easily — it seems.
She doesn’t even mind that water gets in her face when I wash her hair. I always expect her to cry if I accidentally get her her face wet — but no. She doesn’t seem to care.
She even picked up a toy that one of the kids threw into the tub — something she rarely ever does.
By the way, I did have someone very close by in case she slipped. But, she seems to sit up very well when taking her bath. If only Bella could learn to enjoy hers now.
