Bathtime: A Study in the Progression of Emotion




Ella had her first "real" bath Sunday night.
The final connection to her life inside me—her umbilical cord—fell off Saturday night, and so Aaron and I pulled out the camera, and filled the tub. Ella has not been a fan of nakedness—who can blame the girl!?—and so I fully expected waterworks when her clothes came off. She surprised both of us and grinned delightedly for the camera. Waterworks commenced as her naked little self settled into the warm tub water. Not quite what she had expected I think. However, we finished the event with a cheerful demeanor once again. The result: a clean, and ever-so-delicious-smelling baby.
