Bathtime (wish I had my camera there!)

No pictures again tonight. I promise pictures with the next post. Wyatt is getting to that fun bathtime stage - tonight I broke out the bath toys and let him play in the tub for awhile. It feels weird that I'm not always holding him in the tub, but I don't think I could since he's so wiggly! He likes to sit up and play with his toys, and then he likes to try to crawl and "swim" on his tummy. He works really hard - I think he will sleep hard tonight!
I am just really loving this age - he is so full of energy and curiousity. And I really love the times that he slows down, like bedtime. He was definitely ready to go to bed tonight - mad at Mommy for taking the time to put lotion on him, diaper him, dress him in his jammies... I think he would rather go to bed naked! :) But anyways, I love to give him his bedtime bottle now. He just snuggles in and calms down, and I take my time holding him before I put him in his crib. Tonight I laid him on his back, and he immediately rolled over to his tummy and curled up and went to sleep. Sigh... So sweet. Love him!

Anyway, today I had my fill of screaming children (I don't know how you do it, Sarah). I was in Muscatine for the Pediatric Dentistry Clinic. I actually lucked out as I didn't have the loudest of the screaming children. But, I did start a root canal on an 8 year old. She was understandably nervous and jumpy, and she fussed through most of the appointment. I think I would fuss too if my tooth hurt so much too. Some of my classmates had to do fillings on 3 and 4 year olds who were NOT happy... Lots of crying. I had a headache when I got home, but now it's going away. :)

Just buy yourself some ear plugs! (Just kidding, I swear I don't drown the babies out with ear plugs!)
