Calvin hated the first bath that his dad and I gave him. We straddled his blue tub across our kitchen sink and went at it, our little one screaming the whole time. Disheartened, we skipped bath time the next day.But then Grandma (Caldwell) offered a new approach. She put the tub by the window in the bathroom, closed the door to let the room get toasty, then eased Cal into the tub, letting his feet get used to the water first. BRILLIANT! He was so relaxed he nearly fell asleep, but he peed instead ... the true sign of contentment.
Now he has a bath every night before bed. And he loves every minute of it.

What an awesome joy and responsibility to teach a brand new human being what life holds for him, one little moment at a time.
