Bath Time

Today Paytie and I played around the house all morning and afternoon. During bath time I decided to take some pictures of her and I realized that my camera would take black and white pictures. Payten does so good for the camera these days.... she just lets me take pictures of her and cooperates really well. When she was one years old I couldn't get her to sit still and pose for two seconds. The older she gets the easier it gets.....the easier everything gets. She has been so good lately and she listens to us better than she was listening a few months ago. I have been praying for her attititude and I really think God is hearing my prayers! It is so hard being a parent b/c there is so much to know and learn all the while you are trying to be a loving parent and still disclipline all at the same time. I hope I am making sense. My problem is staying consistent. One day I will absolutely not let her get away with anything and other days I will let things slide. I know that is a big no no!!!!! I am learning! Payten always has so much fun during bath time. She never wants to get in the bath tub but once she is in the water she is just fine. She loves it when I take a bath with her. Everyday she tells me that she wants me to take a bath too, so normally I do. It makes it faster b/c I don't have to give her a bath and then take a shower...I get us both clean in about 15 minutes. :)

I love her little outie! So Cute!

She loves to drink the water out of the faucet while in the bath tub. She will try to drink the bath water but I let her know that the water is yucky! So I turn on cold water and she will drink it and sometimes she will hold aa bunch of water in her mouth and turn around and spray it at me! She finds it really funny.....I find it rather gross! :) This morning Payten woke me up around 7a.m. I was soooo exhausted and knew that my body needed more sleep, so I told her to go play and I would get up soon. I never went back to sleep but I did enjoy lying there for another 45 minutes and listening to her play with her dolls and stuffed animals. She lines them up on the wall and says, "Hi friends..." She is constantly talking to her "friends". I really wasn't listening to what she was saying, but when I got out of bed I saw all of her friends lined against the wall. I thought it was pretty cute. She has the best imagination. Well, the pools open tomorrow morning so we are off the the pool in the morning. Payten is so excited she can hardly contain herself. Early this evening she was showing me how to doggie padel and kick her legs like a frog. I think she is going to remember how to swim! I will post pics of the first trip to the pool this weekend. Enjoy the pics.
