Bathtub baptism

Chloe has a definite silly streak in her. She cracks up at knock-knock jokes (even if she doesn't get them) and whenever we laugh at something she says or does she proceeds to do it over and over and OVER again.

A few nights ago I was giving her a bath and feeding Clive simultaneously. She's old enough to safely sit and play in the bath for awhile so I try to get other things done while she's soaking. Because my hands were tied up feeding Clive I tried to get Chloe to wet her hair to save me a step in the bathing process. I cajoled her saying, "Can you wear the washcloth as a hat?" and "Do you know how to dump water on your head?". It worked and to my surprise (she's usually pretty wimpy about water on her head) instead of using her cups to dump the water she filled up her bath bucket and doused herself!

Here's the funny part, she looks up at me all wet and dripping and says, "Look mommy, I got baptized!"

What a nut! I have a feeling the three's will be full of funny moments such as these!

HA! She's so smart!
And she understands the immersion idea...
Great job to you, mommy, for "sneakily" getting her to do it herself! :)
