The Sink Ritual

We've discovered a new, important ritual in our house.

I always thought the kids loved being put in the bathtub all together. But then they started fighting. And someone would get dunked and unhappy and chaos would take over and our lovely bath time was ruined.

We've been bathing Cruz in the kitchen sink because he's been such a messy eater and because we didn't want him in the middle of the upstairs bathtub chaos. And then a couple days ago Kai asked to take a bath in the kitchen sink after Cruz. And after Kai, Ryenne wanted a bath in the kitchen sink.

We've been doing after dinner baths in the kitchen sink for a few days now. It's become special to each kid because they have mommy alone, all to themselves, for that bath time. We splash the water, use the sprayer to wash hair, brush teeth in the sink, take vitamins in the sink. It's there own special time with no other kid around. It's quite nice for me too. Thanks again, Pops and Gams, for the deep sink.
