Bubble Bath Fun!

Bedtime routine for Eleanore goes something like this: eat dinner, run around the house while mom and dad clean up, head to the bath to play boats in the bubbles before washing her hair, drying off and putting on lotion (which she calls "baby") and oil before her jammies, brushing teeth and combing her hair followed by stories on mom and dad's bed, prayers and being rocked to sleep. Yes...she is a pampered little gal and it is a long routine, but really one we wouldn't change for anything. Those are some of the most precious and memorable times we have because the attention is focused on her -- not work, the computer, the TV, the telephone, chores, etc.

Lately, Eleanore has thought it was so fun to scrub the shampoo into her own hair then look at her hands to see all the bubbles that she made. Tonight we put extra bubbles in the tub so she went wild (with no encouragment from me) covering her hair with bubbles and then looking at her reflection on the stainless steel drain at the front of the bathtub. It was so cute!

That top pic is soooo CUTE!! El looks really really pretty in it! And we love bedtime to at our house too! I'm glad she's a pampered princess, she deserves it! :)

What a funny girl. It's so nice when you can spend that one on one time with them, it's really easy when you only have one, it gets harder to find that time once you add to your family.

Cute Pictures! Although I agree that it is nice to spend that one on one time I have to admit by that time of the day I am exhausted and usually in a rush to get the kids in bed so I can take it easy for a bit. I am glad that you can enjoy your sweet little one.

Oh man so much to comment on, I love the new layout of your blog and all the pictures on the side! I can't believe how different she looks from her baby pics to now. The professional photos of El are adorable. #5 is my favorite, and I am jealous of your produce. Someday we'll be around someplace long enough to cultivate some garden good hopefully. We need to get on the salad kick like Bryan sounds like! Hope you guys are dong well.
