Mum came up to stay yesterday. It was great to see her and really nice for Sophie to spend some time with her Grandma. I think Sophie enjoyed having a new face to smile and giggle at for a couple of days (and obvious that mum was well stocked to see her little grand-daughter too!)
Sophie hearing Dan Carter's name being read out during the big game tonight!
After mum cruised off this arvo, Ingrid shot off to do the grocery shopping, like a good wife should (she’s bound to soccer punch me in the ribs when I’m asleep tonight for saying that) – Anyhow, I was home alone during the witching hour tonight (that's Sophie's unsettled time between 4pm-6pm) – So I decided to give her a grown up's bath with me, which is a lot tougher than it sounds when you’re dong it solo, (unless you are Superman or Ingrid)
This is how it unfolded:
1. Run the bath
2. Change and undress Sophie on the table
3. Get yourself undressed
4. Pick up baby and gather the towels
5. Run naked up the stairs (forgetting to close the curtains in broad daylight)
6. Place her strategically on the floor
7. Get yourself in the bath
8. (Realise bath is too hot and have to put more cold water in)
9. Pick Sophie up and then place her in the bath with you
10. (Realise you've forgot to bring a baby flannel with you)
11. Watch her bottom lip drop, because mummy’s not here for bath-time
12. Wash, clean and play with her for 15 minutes
13. Try and take a picture of the two of us, using the self timer feature on the camera
14. Notice photo looks terrible - so blame bad light in the bathroom
15. Place Sophie again strategically on the floor out-side the bath on a pre-placed towel
16. Watch Sophie starting to scream because she’s now cold
17. Jump out of the bath

17. Jump out of the bath
18. Manage to avoid stepping on her head by less than 3 inches
19. Wrap her in towel and run downstairs (starkers still) to the change table
20. Say “Bugger”…becasue you realise you've forgotten (again) to close the curtains
21. Finish dressing her
22. Run back upstairs and get yourself dressed
23. Sprint back downstairs (out of breath) - look at Sophie lying on change table and notice a HUGE grin on her face.

25. Tell Ingrid later on, "this solo bathing thing is a breeze..."
