Bath Time

This is probably back in October now, but I thought I'd still post it.  The rooms only have showers and while we can sponge bathe Emmett, sometimes a good soak is still best.  So we use the pink tubs.  When we first got here in March, Emmett would curl up his legs and insist on having his feet in the 'tub,' too, which looks kind of funny, and was a tight fit, but one of the most entertaining things of the day!  Even though he wasn't doing it for this bath, he still insisted on having his now longer legs curled up so he could get his feet in the tub, too, when we were there over Christmas.  It makes the nurses laugh when they see him bathing like this.

This was a long bath.  He'd had a diaper rash that looked pretty sore, so we gave him an oatmeal bath to soak in.  I left it on too long and it dried a little too much, so I put him in a tub of water to soak it off.  He hung out like this for probably an hour!  He had an iPad in front of him and thought life was great!

We used to bathe Erin in an infant tub/bath inside the shower in case she got to splashing a lot. The Oncology unit has the infant tubs, I just had to get a nurse to find one. Erin used to just sit in it and play with little toys, but it always seemed that she'd get cold pretty fast since it was just a few inches of water.
