Tonight we decided to give Samantha her first real bath in the bath tub since her belly button is all healed up. The bath itself was pretty uneventful. Samantha screamed whenever Dad was soaping her up and Henry was incredibly concerned about why Samantha was screaming so Mom held him up so he could see what was going on. Then after the bath things got a little more exciting. Mom and Dad took Samantha upstairs to put on her lotion and pajamas and learned two important lessons:
1. Put her diaper back on asap after she gets out of the bath tub
2. Make sure to read the bottle label correctly and make sure you are rubbing lotion on post bath, not rubbing on more soap!
We got a couple sets of Johnson & Johnson nightime bath sets. You would think all the lotions would be packaged the same and the and bath soaps would be packaged the same. So if the bath soap was in a clear purple bottle, then the solid purple bottle must be the lotion. Wrong. I blame a combination of sleep deprivation and misleading packaging to soaping up Samantha twice in one night. Luckily we figured it out relatively quickly and got her rinsed off for the second time and then lotioned her up after carefully examiniming all the bottles to ensure we were using lotion. After a couple missteps we finally got to the desired end result of a good smelling baby who is now passed out on the couch with her Dad.
