My older kids--10 and nearly 12-take showers now. I miss the bath days, especially when they would bathe together. Easy, and fun! These days, our youngest loves her bath. The ideas you have for daily affirmation of love during bathtime are definitely something to try. .-= Visty´s last blog ..I need a change =-.

I love this post. A nice (and needed) reminder for take advantage of the short amount of time I have with my children. .-= wesleyjeanne´s last blog ..Wordless Wednesday =-.

Love your thoughts on praying as you bath. Very inspirational.

SUCH a good idea, Nikki! I think I may just read to the girls in the tub tonight.

I love that – discuss the highs and lows. Sometimes, if I remember, I talk with my 4 year old at bedtime about the best and worst of the day. It’s such an interesting insight into how they view the way the day went!

I love this. What a great way to distract from the craziness of boys in water. But when I have the energy we do love the bath for science discovery – pouring, measuring, floating etc, particularly with my 4 year old who doesn’t seem able to switch his brain off!

Or you can use bath time for catching up on blog reading! (she says, feeling a little guilty while Jonathan is splashing away on his own a few rooms away… =)

great post! It is so hard to stay present and mindful for me when I'm going through the bedtime routine so thanks for the reminder. .-= Erin´s last blog ..30 Days of Happiness: Home Again =-.

That’s so funny about the “I love you even if … ” we do the same thing too. “I love you even if you don’t brush your teeth” and stuff like that. We also say “I love you all day and all night even when your stinky” or other assorted phrases and sometimes for bedtime just – “I love you all day and all night even when your sleeping”!

Great thoughts! My husband is the one that bathes our girls. He's gone at work all day and they love this time with him to talk, play, giggle, and get some "dad time." It gives me a chance to clean the kitchen after dinner and feel ready for the next day. Plus I love to sneak in and watch the fun every now and then! .-= Erin Long´s last blog ..Emery Dancing =-.
