Bathing Baby Blues (BBBs)

Not that they're actually blues... actually, bathing Marky is lots of fun! =) I really wonder why he always cries whenever it's his daddy who bathes him... after all, his daddy admitted one time that he does always make Marky cry before he bathes him so that he's sure the little boy's awake. Hehehe... you see, it's funny - Marky always falls asleep whenever we want to bathe him na... so, especially when we have to go na, we really make all sorts of surprising noises to make sure he's awake. =) And yeah, sometimes, the easiest way would really be to make him cry....

Anyway, a while ago, it's the first time I took him to bath on a larger wash basin. :p Before kasi, it was a small basin, but since he's growing so fast and so fat now, he no longer fits in it... so we always let him lie down on the lampin-covered sink, soap him, and then, just pour the water over him from the basin. But now, it's the larger basin... and I can tell he's just as excited as I am to take a dip in it. It was a quandary - but the fun kind. He keeps on sliding and kicking on the water. He only cried when I started soaping his face. And I almost cried 'cause he's so likot! As in....

And then, after he took a bath, I put oil on him, powdered him, clothed him, slapped on fresh diaper on his puwet puwet... stuff like that. Then, I put him on his makeshift bed and I said, "Baby, behave muna ikaw, ha... Mommy has to wash your dirty stuff." It was a ton of clothes and cloth diapers from Monday up to this day. His Daddy wasn't able to wash them all because he's always in a hurry as he has to go to work after fixing Marky. So... going back... I kept making daldal while I was washing the clothes and nappies, and there he was, just looking and listening to me, seemingly in awe... and yes, he's just very, very behaved.

And then, I soaked the clothes in Downy, prepared my meal and Marky's milk-milk, and I sat beside him. One hand was feeding Marky, holding the milk bottle, and the other hand was holding the spoon, which I used to eat of course. So, it's like we had lunch together....

Next thing, I went back to rinse the clothes and hang them. I once again summoned my baby to behave. And yes, he did behave. So, after about 20 minutes of rinsing and hanging clothes, I rewarded Marky with a much deserved hug, kiss, and play. =)

Ah... the simple pleasures of being a Mommy. :p

Anyway, last Sunday, we went out on our first threesome date ever... I, the Daddy, and the Baby. We just went to Almar to shop for baby stuff and eat. Funny thing was, it was Halloween then, so a lot of people around were in costumes. He basically just stared in awe at all of them. =)

Tomorrow, it's another Sunday! Would it be date day again? Well, it depends on the Daddy.... =)

Right now, I'm planning to try my best to earn as much as I could so that Baby's christening would push through on December as planned. =) Actually, I can do it... but yeah, I need to do more online writing work along with my TV stint so I could earn enough.

God speed....
