http://www.tehachapinews.com/home/Blog/dhall/5959 One of the most rewarding and frustrating jobs a person can have is as a parent.  I have two children and over the weekend my 15 month old made me glad to be a mom.  She has been sick for nearly two weeks.  She finally started feeling better over the weekend.  So, I decided to let her participate in what she believes is the funnest thing on the planet.  I gave her a bath.  She was in a bedroom with her sister when I started the bath.  She must have heard the water because I heard the biggest happiest squeal and a few seconds later she was crawling into the bathroom (she can walk she just crawls faster).  I got her undressed and put her in the water.  She kicked her little legs, beat the water with her little hands, and laughed to bring down the house.  I couldn't help but laugh along with her.  After I got her out I realized that I was just as wet (along with the bathroom) as she was.  Giving my baby a bath is one of the greatest joys of my being a mom. Do any of you parents out there have fun stories to share about your kids?

That's a riot! http://www.tehachapinews.com/home/Blog/dhall/5959/#c_60233 http://www.tehachapinews.com/home/Blog/dhall/5959/#c_60233 I am furry and don't like baths...but I like to watch the dog get one. That's a riot! Wait till you get to be a grandparent.  I missed so much with my daughter because of my youth and big hurry.  Now with the grand daughter .... I will stand on my head and spit wooden nickles to get that fantastic laugh.  Like you said - pure, undiluted joy.  She too loves her bath - so at gramma's house, she gets one every single day.  We actually look for play activities that get us dirty enough so we can get that water and soap out.  Too fun .... http://www.tehachapinews.com/home/Blog/dhall/5959/#c_60414 http://www.tehachapinews.com/home/Blog/dhall/5959/#c_60414 Wait till you get to be a grandparent.  I missed so much with my daughter because of my youth and big hurry.  Now with the grand daughter ....
