Every since Wyatt was a baby, the boys have taken baths together. Every time we would give Wyatt one, Dax wanted in. No matter what Dax was doing, as soon as the water started for Wyatt he was running in the bathroom half undressed. Even when we had Wyatt's ugly purple tub in the bath, Dax would squish and squirm his way in too.
When Dax was a baby, I had rules. Major rules. Major bath time rules. No standing. No splashing. No drinking the water. No turning the water on after the bath was filled. No climbing in and out. It was kinda extreme, but it made for a spotless bath experience.
With two in the tub, this was impossible. Wyatt loves to stand at the spout and smile his crazy tooth smile. Dax loves to pour water over Wyatt's head making a mess everywhere. Wyatt loves to smack Dax's behind when he is laying on his stomach playing with the rubber ducky. Wyatt tries to climb out every time, every time, to grab that shiny, silver, toilet handle. And I can't get either to stop drinking the water via squishy rubber ducky. So gross!
On the other hand, if there is one thing that tells me my babies are getting bigger, it's the fact that I can now actually sit on the toilet seat and watch this craziness unfold. I can actually sit, and watch my adorable sons play in the bath without holding onto my youngest afraid he is going to slip out of my hands due to the waves that my oldest is making in the water. There is still splashing, and standing and drinking of water, but I don't have to be hunched over the tub, with water up to my shoulders and dripping down my nose anymore. They both can survive the bath time experience as I sit on the toilet seat and watch.
I'm guessing one day there will actually be a time where I might be able to leave the bathroom and fold some laundry, get dinner started, or catch up on emails. But, then again, when that time actually comes, sometime way down the road (I'm afraid to see what will go on when I am NOT in the bathroom), there will probably be another little one to watch in the tub too (no, this is not some kind of announcement!).
So, here's to many, many more nights in the bathroom watching my kiddos in the bath. It may just be the highlight of my day these days!
Help! I just re-decorated the boys bathroom, officially making it a "boys" bathroom, and I want to use two of these pictures. What are your favorites??

I totally related to this post. I too love to sit and watch my two boys in the bathtub. It is funny how we change from how we dealt with one to how we deal with two. Bathtime is still a favorite for me too (and I probably could leave the two for a few minutes to fold laundry or something.) There is just something happy and special about two little guys playing to happily in the tub. I would have to say I like the top picture, the one of Wyatt holding onto the focet and also the one of Dax pouring the water. I know that is 3, but those are my 3 favorite. (Although all of them are cute!)
How Cute! Chloe totally has to get into the bath with Carver too...
They are all adorable but I like the first picture and the last.
I love bath time, this post was close to my heart!
I love these pictures too. I think the first 3 are my favorite.
I cant wait until we will have 3 in the tub. For now its just to crammed to fit together with the baby bath, though the kids are always asking to get in with Olivia.
O my gosh Bryn!!! Those pictures are so stinkin cute!!! How fun for you to enjoy this time with them and that it is not as full of anxiety now and you can just sit and smile and enjoy your two sweet little blessings! Love it!
Gotta love the naked bootie pics!!!
You have some handsome boys Bryn... I can't believe how big they are getting! And I can't believe Dax and Austin are Sunbeams now! They are all great pictures, but I loved the first one with both of them in it, and I love Wyatt's eyes in the third one. Good luck choosing which ones to use!
Bryn, could they be any more adorable. I like the two of them in the tub, and the one with Wyatt peaking over the tub. Enjoy the time that you get to have them in the tub because soon enough they'll be too big for the tub and you'll be sad that there is no more tub time!!!
Love ya lots!
Oh geez Brynie I don't know how to choose the ones I like best!! I think if it were me I would choose from the 1st three pics!! I absolutley LOVE the 1st picture...little Wy looking at Dax with his tongue out!!! And I can't wait too see your BATHROOM!!!! Luv ya
I love these pictures! Why do I always like the unpopular ones? I really LOVE the one of Dax pouring water and Wyatt standing at the faucet! So cute! I hope soon that you can get away from the tub while the boys bathe, because it's the best!
