From Screams of Agony to Squeals of Delight



When we first got Jonas home from the NICU, he absolutely hated if we "messed" with him. This included changing diapers and changing clothes, but he especially hated his bath. We were giving sponge baths, and he would scream as if we were torturing him. We finally had to work out a system where every part of his body was covered with a towel or blanket except the part we were washing. However, a couple of weeks ago, all of that changed. He seemed to not mind his bath anymore, so we decided to try to put him in his tub. (We had tried before, but he threw such a fit that we got him out immediately.) Now, as you can see, he loves his bath. His favorite part is to float around on his back in the water as if he were doing the backstroke. He kicks his legs and looks like he wants to swim. Needless to say, bath times are much less stressful!

Here is Jonas enjoying his "froggy" bathtub!
