Thinking back to our time in China, there are some things I miss: the daily cleaning of our hotel room and bathrooms, a driver who will take you wherever you need to go, and the breakfast buffets - oh, how I wish I had a pork dumpling right now to go with my coffee!
Of course, there are many things I don't miss and among those is how Lily was with baths. We tried a bath in the hotel our first evening and she wasn't having any of that! I mean, full out screaming, face turning red, shaking, etc. Yup, that was our first parent fail. (Notice I said first, because I know there are others.) After talking with our guide, she believed the orphanage just did sponge baths. So, that's what we did while in China and Lily really wasn't much for those either but did tolerate them.

Once we got home, I took a bath with her for a bit and then she was off to the races! This little girl loves bath time and gets so excited to put her clothes in the dirty clothes basket and get in that bathtub! I've been told by my husband that I sometimes cut bath time short and that kids should be all "pruned" up by the time they get out. Guess I'll work on that. :)
Turning into a ham!
Do you see what I did - turned the step stool upside down and sat in it!
This is just so fun!
The other night while we were bathing, we had a visitor - Gracie, our chocolate lab. Gracie likes to watch over us and she needed to come check out all the fun we were having.
Gracie is wondering why she doesn't get to play with the toys when she gets a bath.
Some kisses for Gracie - thank you for checking on us!
Two beautiful, precious girls that came to the family is a round about way. Love them both!
