Santa Baby

Christina has always loved water play and can take hour long baths and showers.

She called for me one day and told me she looked like Santa with a bubble beard.

This must be Grouchy Santa. 

We see this expression quite often around our house! I had to laugh at Daniel's baptism, when she made this face at me when I shushed her to be more reverent. Our bishop noticed it too and grinned at me. Like I've said before, we have spirited, strong-willed children. Whom we love with our all our hearts. Just not the stinker moments.

Christina loves to play in the tub with goggles, pretending she is swimming. I wonder if Pinky will become a good swimmer. She is not afraid of the water and wants to be on swim team, like her friend Tucker. I called the YMCA and she is not quite a strong enough swimmer for that, but it's something to work towards. It's only $8 to swim as a family. I think I'll start taking the kids as a way to break up boring afternoons and Saturdays. Swimming is great for wearing kids out too!

Other days she gathers all her water toys and plays in the shower. Yesterday I heard her singing an animal variation of "Drummer Boy" with her enthusiastic "Moos" and bell sounds, as she played with her animal bath stickers. She makes me laugh! All the kids prefer bathing/showering in our master bath and I have to persuade all of the kids to use their own bathroom - the camping bathroom. It kind of drives Ben a little crazy!

Look at those luscious, red lips. She's such a cutie.

I just wish her love for baths/showers would rub off on her brother Daniel!
