Bathtime Fun

I had to post some bathtime pics and a short video because bathtime has been lots of fun lately. Jackson really enjoys playing in the bath, but sometimes I guess it's just a bit much for him. Brett went a little crazy on the bubbles the other night and then decided to try out a mohawk. I guess Jackson wasn't feeling it!Tonight, the boys had SO much fun in the bathtub together! They were both so happy and interacting with each other it was one of those wonderful moments when I could just sit back and watch my kids and feel so blessed!! Just look at those cuties :)
And to top off the bathtime tonight, Brady taught Jackson how to really splash!! We had a HUGE puddle on the floor after this, but it was definitely worth it!

And, on another note, bedtime went GREAT tonight! Jackson was a little fussy, but he is still teething so I expect him to be uncomfortable and need some extra attention. I tried something with Brady thanks to Parents.com. We put him to bed and told him we would check on him in 5 minutes. I came back in, tucked him back in, and told him I would be back in 10 minutes. I had to take Jackson, so Brett went in to check on him and he was laying down pretty quietly. Brett told him I would be in to check on him in 15 minutes and when I came in he was just getting out of bed because he thought I had forgotten about him. I tucked him back in, gave him a kiss, and told him I would be back in 20 minutes to check on him. I don't know how long it took him to actually fall asleep, but I'm guessing it wasn't long. When I went in to check on him after 20 minutes, he was fast asleep and so was Jackson!! The thing I can't believe is that he got out of bed ONCE and there was no arguing, screaming, or anything! I HIGHLY recommend trying this strategy out if there are difficulties at bedtime with your toddler/preschooler. It worked wonders for Brady! We'll see how tomorrow goes!
