Bathtime Baby

My kids really needed a bath tonight. (Which, of course, they never complain about because they LOVE baths) We were talking on the phone when I started the bath water and so I hauled the kids out of the bathroom and shut the door so both parties could hear. While I was assisting in Kami's phone call I overheard Cooper throwing a fit down the hall. I went to find him and found him pounding on the bathroom door, screaming at the top of his lungs. He could hear the bath water running and he wanted in. As soon as I opened the door, he bolted into the bathroom and pulled himself up on the tub. I am sure, had his legs been longer, he would have been in the bathtub, clothes and all. I could barely get his diaper off fast enough for him.
Kameryn always loved the bath, but never with as much intensity as Cooper does. I have come to find that Cooper is a "go big or go home" kind of guy. He is very passionate about things and he is sure to let you know what he likes and doesn't. Bath time, is an all time favorite thing for that little boy. Right up there with food, so it is a good thing with him that those two things usually correspond.
Kameryn also seems to enjoy the bath a lot more now that she has a buddy to play with. They were so cute in the bath tonight. Giggling and playing. Kami was blowing bubbles on Cooper's tummy and he thought it was the funniest thing that had ever happened to him. I love my children so much. Not only do I find so much joy in each of them individually, but seeing them play and interact together, and watching the growing affection between the two of them doubles my joy. Motherhood is the best.
