Recently my new-mom friends on Facebook have been posting pictures of their non-verbal, immobile children and the absolute bliss that bath time or feeding time is. All I gotta say is enjoy it while you can!
Because once those arms start working you will have food chucked across the room, on the dog and in your hair - at every meal. The kids will scream bloody murder if you don't let them feed themselves. So you have to allow it...either that or get ear plugs.
Then after every meal you will wrestle the messy, screaming child into the bath and attempt to wash them off. They will scream when you wash their hair, whine when the water is to cold and pitch an all out fit when you finally let the water drain because you are tired of them spilling cupful after cupful onto the floor...which you have to mop as soon as they nap - if they nap.
Enjoy it mommas because those first few months when all they do is smile and coo is made up with decades of non-cooperation.
