Mama in New England

This is us, as I navigate motherhood and enjoy the amazing adventure.

We are a family of four, a cat and a dog, living outside Boston, Massachusetts. I started this blog as a way to update friends and family who are afar, but it seems to have become somewhat therapeutic & helps me laugh when I need to.

Gotta Go ... Bath Time is Over

Bath time is one of Sam's favorite parts of the day, but getting out of the bath and getting dried off is really not fun for any of us.  When we tell him it's bath time, he hightails it to the bathroom and bangs on the door (which remains closed due to random objects found floating in the toilet bowl & cleaning products stored in there). 
The bath itself is fine, it involves a lot of splashing, wet parents, and a happy baby.  He lets us know when he is finished by raising his arms and saying something that is supposed to be, "up."  Once he gets out however, he really doesn't want to be dried off.  I've taken to standing him in front of the tub to rub him down, so he can still play with his toys on the side.
Yesterday, I was toweling Sam off, and he was whining and trying to twist away.  I gave up, figuring it was warm and he was mostly dry.  I went to hang the towel up and turn to pick up his diaper, when I heard, "bye-bye," followed by, "go" and saw a naked, damp little baby toddle out of the bathroom.  The rubber ducky was in one hand and miniature wet footprints behind him.
