My girl loves taking a bath. It doesn't matter how tired or fussy she is, as soon as she's in the tub she is relaxed and happy. Taking a bath is part of Scarlett's nighttime routine that starts at around 7pm every night. It goes like this: bath, massage, pajamas, swaddle, nurse, lullaby, bed. She seems to like it and it helps us, too. Who doesn't like a little structure, right? Brandon and I call everything after the bath "post-bath". Usually one of us bathes Scarlett while the other preps the post-bath and then both of us get her ready for bed. Scarlett is so sweet and talkative after her bath that it's sad to have to say good night! Scarlett and I also have a routine in the morning after Brandon goes to work - nurse, diaper change, put on clothes for the day, watch mommy eat cereal, read a book. By then she's already sleepy and is ready for a nap. She'll take at least two more naps throughout the day. After 4:00 it's tough to get her to fall asleep even though she's exhausted, which is hard on both of us. Good thing Brandon will be home soon and then it's bath time again. Splish splash!
