fuzzy sunshine and a bath in a bowl

Heidi called and asked if I'd come give p.j. a bath in a bowl.

Oh my goodness, yes absolutely. I would love to.

It's been six years though, since I bathed a newborn.

There's a way to do it so they don't fall apart and wail, and it has to do with keeping them warm, and also making sure they have eaten before you start.

Hungry and cold? Terrible. Warm and full? Possibly okay.

The bowl provides enough water to rinse off properly, but not get the cord wet.

Anyway, after we were done, Joe picked out some clothes and voila.

Yesterday I bathed her again, dressed her little tiny self, and gave her back to Heidi.

Here they are in the sunshine, the baby's fuzz all illuminated. Too bad a camera can't capture the way she smells.


See that snow in the window behind them? It's supposed to be entirely gone by the weekend.

Good bye, snow. It's been real.

Happy Spring Honey. love, Mom
