Bathtime for two

Toby is in NYC until tonight and the girls really needed a bath.  They have eye infections that are goobering up their eyes something terrible.  They won't let me wipe the crud away and so a bath seemed the perfect solution.  Plus, it's a good way to get some toys cleaned, too. 

This is how bathtime with just one parent works here.

1.  Get things together while girls are in cribs or highchairs.

 

  

Please note that the Bebe Pod is not intended for bathtub use and we do not leave the girls in it unattended.  It just helps me to bathe them both at once.  Also, it floats if you have too much water in the tub and makes things very unstable.  

2.  Get one baby from chair, strip her down, and place into empty tub.

 

See that there's no water in the tub.  Baby A just plays happily for a bit until she realizes she's alone and starts screaming.

3.  Get Baby B.

4. Check on Baby A on the way to strip Baby B down. 

5.  Add Baby B to the bathtub/toy mix.

6.  Add water.

7.  Wash Baby A, rinse, repeat with Baby B.

8.  Drain water and remove a baby.

9.  Baby A will want to know where Baby B went.

(Again, no water in the tub.)

10.  Put dry Baby B into a sleeper and into crib for a nap.

11.  Get Baby A, dry, clothe, put down for nap.

Everybody is eye-crud free right now and quite happy.  Bathtime is so much fun now that the girls enjoy splashing and playing in the tub.  Our huskador (lab/husky mix) likes to try to help clean the babies.  Today he was busier cleaning up the Cheerios from breakfast.  After all of this, I decided it was time for me to eat something and to also take a nap.  We all feel better and I might even remember to shower this evening.
