Cooks and Baths

Tonight Paige helped me cook. She really helped me. I chopped an onion and she took the pieces I chopped and made SURE they were plenty small, and if not she broke them apart for me and put them all in a bowl. Then I put on an oven mitt at one point, and she ran for her kitchen yelling about her pink one with flowers on it. She was gone longer than I expected, and came back with the full getup, matching apron, potholder, and oven mitt.
The boy tried mine on tonight too.
He also marched around the backyard wielding our hose spray attachment, pointing it at things and even making appropriate sounds. "PSSSH! PSSH!" He's wonderful.
He also decided that he'd go ahead and put 3 words together, forming a nearly complete sentence tonight. I got their bath all ready, and came to get them from the playroom. I asked "Want to take a bath?" Paige said "No tank you, I watchin' Caillou." So I asked Cason, who looked excited. I started to take off his diaper and he goes "takeaba". I freaked out and asked Jess if he heard him, but he didn't, because he was really into the book he was reading. I was so disappointed I was the only one who heard it. It sounded JUST like he said "take a bath" really fast, without the "th". But luckily for me, as soon as I got his diaper off, Cason said it 2 more times and went marching for the bathroom. We BOTH heard it that time. So I took him to the bath, and after a few minutes Paige came running in. She hopped in too, and Cason goes "takeaba?" So cute.

I love bath night. I always did. We did it every other night with Paige, and she loved baths. We always warmed her towel up in the dryer before we got her out, took her to the hydration station right after, and lotioned her up. We did it the same way with Caso, except without warming his towel, since it wasn't getting cold out yet when he was born. I love how much fun they have in the bath, and how clean they look and smell after, in their pjs.
