在台北住了一晚溫泉酒店，靖愷從此愛上家族泡湯。

從前他都只顧著玩不願洗澡，現在只要問他要不要跟妹妹一起泡，他就立即跑過來自己脫掉衣服。

夏天不怕孩子冷著，我也正好在兩個豆丁戲水時忙別的。昨晚忙著收拾時，還聽到有人唱起歌來。

我們家裡沒有浴缸，兩兄妹暫時就只好親密地擠在嬰兒浴盆裡。但願快些找到新的房子，然後建個大浴缸一家慢慢泡！

rafael is addicted to family bathing after his first-ever experience with hot spring in taipei.

i've always loved having a relaxing bath too. wish we can find a new place soon with space for a nice big tub so everyone can get in.

ducky snapshots

rafael's favourite bath toy / teether / pacifier - oh i love his i-am-caught look. :P

life has been really ducky after your birth, my dear boy.

這隻鴨仔是靖愷最愛的洗白白玩伴，亦兼職牙膠和奶咀。

靖愷：媽媽，唔好影啦！

why do i always get caught?

點解我成日比媽媽捉到架？

splash

it's much easier to take a bath for rafael now after he can sit up by himself. we don't need to hold him up anymore and he also has much fun splashing himself with water. we're now looking forward to the day when he can stand up by himself and we can just take a shower for him then. lazy parents : P

靖愷可以坐著後, 爸爸媽媽幫他洗白白的工夫容易多了, 而靖愷也可以玩玩拍水自得其樂. 甚麼時候愷愷會可以站起來, 嘗嘗花灑浴的滋味呢?

bathtime (a further update)

rafael really enjoys taking bath now. but six months before, he hated it a lot!

靖愷現在很喜歡洗白白, 還常會用手拍打玩耍, 弄至水花四濺. 看來他已忘了六個月前洗澡時號啕大哭的他...

quickie baths

bubble-bath (by cynthia rider)

bubbles here
bubbles there
clouds of bubbles
everywhere.

on my tummy
on my toes
in my ears
and up my nose.

on my chin
and in my hair
clouds of bubbles
everywhere.

"it was so hot last week and after watching auntie margaret demonstrating how to bath me in the sink, mommy decided to give me a quickie bath every afternoon to keep me clean during the hot weather. hmm... it seems a bit cramped in here..."

two weeks!

"i just turned two weeks today (feb 19)! do you think i have become more mature now? oh, and i didn't cry much when daddy bathed me today!"

it's bathtime!

why are you crying baby? daddy is only helping you to clean...
