I thought I'd write about our funny bathtub adventure last night. Collin is getting very very sneaky! He's already learning how to outsmart his parents.

So...for the past week or so we've been giving Collin a nightly bath, trying to set up a routine so he knows when bedtime is. (Which by the way is working because he falls right to sleep after his bath.) Anyways, we thought we had such a polite little boy because he doesn't spray us normally when we open his diaper. (Well...it's happened to Pat a few times... but he needs to be more efficient! Haha..) Ok..so as I was saying.. for the past week or so we give him a bath and he has started testing us. As SOON as we put him in the bathtub, he hits that warm water and decides to pee so we have to drain the tub and start all over again since we don't want him bathing in pee. (Although I have to admit after the second time I was like "okkk he's gonna have to bathe in it!" But Pat wouldn't let me...hahah) So I finally figured out that if I get a washcloth with warm water and cover his body while Pat dumps over the bathtub and refills it he isn't cold so he doesn't start screaming. We thought we had gotten so good at!!

Well... last night we tried to outsmart him... as Pat was getting the bath ready I opened his diaper and let some air get in there so maybe the cold air would make him go before he got in the water. But of course, I opened it and just covered it so it wouldn't spray everywhere. Pat came over and said I needed to open it more. So he proceeds to take off the diaper. We sat there for a second and sure enough... here comes the pee!!! Pat caught it all in the pee-pee tee-pee!! VICTORY!! We weren't gonna have to drain the tub!!!

So we go put him in the nice clean warm water and NOOOOOO!!!! Here comes the pee!!! hAnd he didnt just pee a little in the bathtub...he pushed so hard it came out of the water and made an arc over the bathtub wall!!!!! Two adults... outsmarted by a 7 week old. I think I even saw him smile and laugh a little as he thought "these two are gonna be so gullible in the future." Dang it.....he sure showed us...
