One of the most amazing things about being a parent is getting to witness your child grow and learn new things. It's even more amazing when they start to do things purely out of observation (as opposed to you endlessly trying to teach them).
Tonight I had just such an experience as I was getting Joaquin ready for a bath. The past few times I've given him a bath, he has stood next to me and put his hand under the running water, just as I do when I'm trying to get just the right temperature. Tonight, however, after testing the water he took it upon himself to open the cabinet where we keep his bath supplies, get out his bubble bath, and bring it over to the tub to add some bubbles. Of course once I realized what he was doing, I helped him open the bottle and squeeze it into the tub, which produced a very hearty giggle from my little genius. I swear, it's moments like these that make me so friggin happy to be a mommy.... And then of course after the bath he's in his room dragging all of his clean (and folded) laundry out of the basket, but I guess that's what I get for not putting it away earlier. :P
And with that, I am off to enjoy the rest of my night watching Shark Tank and folding towels. TGIF! xxoo
