Bubbles

For all you new mothers out there, a word of advice . . . don't use Johnson's Baby Bedtime Bath until your child is at least two, i.e past the phase of putting everything into his mouth.

I decided to try this new baby wash tonight, since it's supposed to calm your baby before bedtime and help them sleep better (nonsense, I'm sure). I didn't realize it was Bubble Bath! (In my defense, it says nothing about bubbles on the bottle.) The tub immediately filled with bubbles, which at first I thought was pretty fun since it's been a long time since I've had a bubble bath. Plus, I thought Johnny would have a blast with the bubbles.

Well, he didn't get it. He just kept trying to put the bubbles in his mouth via drinking it, sucking them off his hands, sucking them off his toys, you name it. Instead of a fun, relaxing bath it turned into a not-so-relaxing bath with mama trying to dilute the bubbles as quickly as possible - not an easy task -- and constantly washing the bubbles off Johnny's face and out of his mouth.

I am excited for Johnny to take a bubble bath again, just not for another year or two.
