Sundays and Bath-time

This is what our Sunday afternoons usually look like. Or should I say evening. One o'clock church is pretty much the worst time ever for church with toddlers. Nap skipped (or if we are lucky, a short one at the most) and 3 hours later, we rush home to get dinner and then you can usually find us doing this. Hanging out and watching a movie.

So to keep a very active little girl occupied and to pacify some of the morning, the girls have bath time. Daddy gave Asha her first bath and so we made it a tradition and he gave Kali her first bath too. This wasn't on Sunday and Asha was in bed, but I wanted to share the pictures anyway. Below you will see that now Asha and Kali take a bath together. The first time this happened, Asha was suppose to just help me give Kali her bath but somehow she ended up in the bath too. I seriously love watching them together. I love seeing how much Asha loves Kali.

Kali's 1st Bath at home

Sweet little blond haired, blue eyed girl.

All snuggled up and clean and

dressed in the same BYU onesie that her big sister wore

after her first bath.

Our girls.

Kalyani,

You are so lucky to have a sister who loves you so much,

a sister who is always checking to make sure you are okay,

a sister who is constantly waking you up from your sweet little dreams,

a sister who loves when you open your eyes and look at her ("Mom/Dad, her lookin at me!")

a sister who always wants to assist in putting "medicine," as she says, on your bum,

a sister who tells mommy anytime you cry, "mom, sister hungry,"

a sister who makes sure that your fingernails are always painted,

a sister who tells Heavenly Father during prayers, "thank you Kali,"

a sister who is always calling you "cute baby,"

a sister who sings or should I say hum, "I am a Child of God," when you cry.

(it sounds like this "hmm hmm hmm hmm."),

a sister who squeezes in the little whale tub just to take a bath with you.

You are the most loved little sister.

Love,

Mommy
