Lucky little girl

Amy's bedtime routine is pretty fun. After dinner, her Daddy draws her a nice warm bath where they scrape off all the peas and oatmeal and leftover mud from the long day of playing. 
Sometimes, he adds bubbles, or empty bottles to dunk and pour out. Last night, he dyed the water bright blue. It was pretty awesome. 
She splashes and plays and he reads his book.

Everyone should have such a fun bath
When the water cools off and everybody is done with bathtime, he dresses her in some snuggly PJs and then it's time for reading books and some last minute snuggles before bed. Sometimes, snuggles turn into tickles...


 Which turn into monster tickle fights! 


It's one of the best parts of our day. Rob gets to spend some really special time with Amy, and I get 45 minutes all by myself. Alone. I do a lot of nothing during bathtime. When the books and the cuddles and the tickles are done, I take the warm, sleepy, powder-scented baby to her room to tuck her in.
It's a long routine, and it makes it impossible to go out in the evenings, but I think the three of us all love it so much.
p.s. While I'm tucking in Amy, Rob does the dinner dishes. Is he great or what?
