One of the best times of our day is bathtime. We light a few candles, turn on the taps, and let the troubles of the day sink away in lovely warm water! The children spend as much time as I will let them soaking. They play with seashells and rocks, pour "tea" for one another, practice dunking their heads under water, and on and on! Once they are good and pruny, I love wrapping my warm sweetly-smelling babies up in their hooded towels.Our days aren't always predictable, but making time to decompress with this little ritual really makes a difference in our bedtime. I think as the next few months unfold for our family these routines will become even more important to us then they are now. I hope that as we become busier, we can try to make the time to strengthen these moments in our day for our little ones so that they can count on something remaining the same in their life.
having routines is so important. Lots of love to you.
ReplyDeleteOh this sounds lovely. Can I come take a bath at your house? I could use some quiet and candle light. With 7 children running around our house, quiet relaxation is not something we often get!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful idea.....I never thought about making bath time peaceful for my kids. It's always "play time" for us, but I'll have to try this. Your blog is wonderful!
