The Ongoing Adventures of Parker Ryan and his family.

Dec. 1, 1998

Parker graduated to the big tub on a permanent basis this week. Before this, he alternated between the kitchen sink and the tub, depending on how tired his parents were.

He likes the big tub. As you can see, they've invented these cool tub seats for babies to sit in safely. But it's a bear to wash them as most of their sweatier parts are covered by the seat.

The nicest part is bathtime has become a one parent chore, rather than one holding and one washing. Sharon does most of Parker's bathing and I get Jasper's baths. I think Sharon got the better deal.

Notice the strategic positioning of the seat. I don't want to offend anyone's sensibilities or have someone claim I'm trafficking kiddie porn.
