I have been following Katie at MummyDaddyMe for months now. It’s no secret I completely love her blog. She is listed on my “blogs I love,” of course. She is creator of {Ordinary Moments} linky, an amazing link up which allows us to brag about the ordinary moments not just the celebratory moments of life. I have been working hard to get my website up and running so I haven’t had a chance to join in, until now…
Bathtime is my favorite time of the day with my kids, not because it means bedtime is around the corner but because both of my kids, absolutely, come to life in the tub. It’s a time for one on one play with Mommy or Daddy, a very ordinary moment but one I cherish so much.
Buba gets his mohawk going, and his big duck quacking while Daddy or Mommy suds him up. He loves splashing and using the water cup to pour water out of the tub onto the floor. Eeek, messy, but he is so happy, his smile and cheekiness will put a smile on your face every time.
Missy Moo is just as excited to rub-a-dub-dub in the tub! She instantly knows what’s coming and kicks her chubby legs and waves her arms franticly, as soon as I lay her down on her towel on the floor, to undress her. She blows her raspberries like she is ready to work on her bubbles in the water. It’s a precious time together, one I wouldn’t skip.
I was always told, give your kids a bath before bed, it’s calming, it prepares them to settle down for bedtime. On what planet? My two kids act like they are in disneyland, on a sugar high. Buba can hardly sit still afterwards for his bedtime story, he is so giddy. It’s highly amusing. He soon settles down, about page 5 and is always ready for bed by the end, thank goodness. These may be ordinary moments but as parents these moments are the ones you want to remember forever!
Thank you Katie and your wonderful linky, I am now, focusing more on the ordinary moments that might have otherwise been forgotten in the future.
What beautiful photos of the pair of them- they both look so cheeky! Both my girls adore bathtime and I think it might be my favourite part of the day too. I love everything about our bedtime routine. Thanks for joining in, it’s lovely to have you. And thank you for the truly lovely words about my blog. Xx
Thank you Katie, of course I adore your blog or maybe border line obsessed, apologies. lol Are you going to BritMums Live in June? I am looking forward to meeting all my favorite bloggers in person. Agreed, you can’t beat a good bedtime routine. Great ordinary moments. I look forward to joining in more with the ordinary moments when I can.
Aww they both look like they’re having a blast! My two have always loved bath time too, it’s one of the highlights of our day!
Thanks for popping over and commenting. Bathtime is full of imagination and fun, what kid wouldn’t love all that. Sometimes I put my two in with bubbles and toys just for a bath party fun if they are bored and it’s raining outside. It’s like their own personal pool party indoors. lol
Ha ha – my kids are just the same! It’s so noisy, and giggly, and not remotely calm! Lovely photos x #OrdinaryMoments
I don’t know where Gina Ford gets her calm bathtime scenarios from, but I certainly have never seen a calm bathtime from any kid. lol Its a time to splash, play, blow bubbles and pretend you are swimming for kids. No one wants to sit and just float, unless of course its bathtime for MOMMY! lol
I love bath-time, so do the children, although it tends to hype them up rather than relax them!
Exactly. I have never seen a calm children’s bathtime and I have 14 neices and nephews and two of my own kids. lol Although I am very keen on a calm bathtime for myself. hahaha 😉 What mommy isn’t?
Capture those moments, mine won’t let me in a bathroom with them anymore.
Oh bless you. They grow up too fast. I want mine to stay young forever as long as I can stay young forever too. Lol
look at the cute hair do! bath time is always good!
I have attempted the mohawk on Missy Moo, but her little fussy head just doesn’t have enough yet. Someday they will be matching in their suds. hahaha Always fun to bring out the child in us all!!!
What a wonderful post and such fabulous images. You’re so right, bathtime really is special although it always seems to perk our toddler up! Lovely post thank you so much for sharing with #whatsthestory
Thank you ever so kindly. Appreciate the lovely comment. Yes bathtime is the sure ticket to spike my kids’ into hyper mode for sure!!! Love your linky, and I look forward to sharing more #whatsthestory with you and all your link ups.
What beautiful photos of bath time fun. #ordinarymoments
Thank you so much for popping over and commenting. I am just learning photography so hoping they get better and better.
Beautiful pictures! They sure look happy to be in the bath. It’s a favourite time of day around here too. Now my kids are a little bit older, they share a bath and we can enjoy a cuppa while they play. Good times.
Oh that’s lovely. I can’t wait till my two are old enough to play together in the bath. So much fun to be had!!! Bubbles, toys and all! hehe Definitely good times, thank you so much for popping over and commenting. I hope to see you again soon. 😉
Awww your darlings are lovely!!
I also love bath time and the snuggles that follow before bed with my girl!
Lovely blog x
