Splish Splash, I was Taking a Bath!

Jonah has always enjoyed his baths and doesn't seem to mind the water at all.  He even recognizes the pre-bath routine and gets excited when we put him on the floor in the bathroom in preparation for his bath.  At home, we have a Primo Eurobath which we've used for all of his baths since his initial sponge baths, with the exception of a few in a dishpan when we were in Ohio earlier this summer. 

We debated about what to do about his baths while we were in Ohio last week for Thanksgiving. He seems too big for a dishpan at this point, and we didn't really want to take along the bath (and use precious cargo space) for the three times he'd use it over the course of the week. In the end, we decided we would simply bathe him in the grown-up tub.  And what a good decision!  After helping him sit up for a bit, we let him lie on his back in the water (it didn't reach his ears) and he just LOVED it.  He might be a swimmer some day because he was splashing and moving himself all over the tub.  Here he is early on during that first experience:





Earlier tonight, we had a hard time deciding whether to lay Jonah on the bottom of the regular tub or put him in the Eurobath.  In the end, we settled on the Eurobath, but he was extremely restless in it and constantly lifted his butt off the bottom as if he was trying to tell us that he missed the other experience.  Which way will we bathe him on Thursday?  Time will tell, but I'm leaning toward ditching the Eurobath.
