Bathing By The Christmas Tree

Somebody made such a mess of herself at dinner that she needed a bath to clean up.  I emptied very many legos out of an old yellow baby bathtub that her father used to use and filled it with warm water and set it on the kitchen table.

She's keeping her eye on me because she remembers there is a canary behind me.  She's not afraid of dogs or cats or strangers and people making funny faces at her but a Russian canary inside a cage is something to worry about.

We're keeping her at the left end of the tub.  If she is in the middle she reaches for the far edge and almost pulls herself to a standing position.

Water everywhere!  Water on the table.  Water on the floor.  Water on Daddy.  Water on Mommy.  Water on Grandma.  Water on Aunty.  Everybody is taking a bath tonight!
