Bathtime

Despite the look on Carter's face he really does LOVE bath time.

We decided last week that it was high time to start bathing the boys together. I have been trying to simplify things around here since I feel like all I do most days is feed Boston, feed carter, play with Boston, do therapy with Carter, feed Carter, feed Boston, bath Boston, bath Carter. You get it. I was a little nervous how it would go with Boston in the tub too, but surprisingly it has gone very good. I used to only bath Carter every other day since it is such an ordeal. Since it has been so dang hot and Carter is a sweaty boy his neck band to hold in his trach would get stinky so daily baths were a must and that is what really made me make the switch to bathing them together. Boston was so excited! He has been asking to take a bath with Carter since he came home. It's definitely a plus for both of them. Boston's get some company and someone to watch his every move, and Carter gets a longer bath which he is very happy about.

Things can get a little tricky with having Boston awake while we do trach care right after bath. Usually if we give him a little task he will stay out of the way. His task usually is dipping the q-tipps in water. After that he usually runs around the house naked or plays the ipad till we are done.

PS. yes Boston is that tan. Lucky boy has my Dad's skin and tans in a second.
