bathtime.

Bathtime is such a fun time around here!

It takes us at least an hour to get them all through, dressed, hair brushed, etc. We used to do it at night, with the idea to calm them down. Yeah right. We now do it during the day, because rather, it riles them up.

See for yourself:

Charlie boy goes under and back up, under and back up, under and back up.
He tries to pretend he's slipping under the water and Maleah catches him.
Oh, the giggles. It never gets old.

Maleah looks like a teenager in this picture. Okay, maybe not a teen, but wow!
She likes to "relax" in the tub and do away with the toys.
Like I said...teen.

And Laylers. Everything is a party to her, including bathtime. This girl lives to take baths.
She loves all the water splashing and being with her brother and sister.
But the cleaning up part? She despises it.

I love this photo. They are so beautiful...
and such great friends. That's the real beauty.

I love the memories these three are making. They are so silly together.
They are a gift to one another.
