First Bath (After Surgery)

Sheridan's last scab came off today, so we celebrated with a REAL BATH!!! Poor boy was so tired of sponge baths (and we were, too, quite honestly).

He went to bed over an hour late because he was having so much fun splashing in the water. Thank you, Sheridan, for the strategically placed splashes in this photo...


...and the strategically placed bubbles in this photo (all while you were pretending to be on the phone). I'm telling you, that small patch of bubbles is PRE. CISELY. where it needs to be. I had no time for image adjustments tonight :)


Here's a slightly better look at his scar (a few of you have asked), 3 1/2 weeks post op (thanks for the precise bottle placement, Buddy)...


He was just so happy to finally get to splash Mommy, throw toys out of the tub onto the floor, play like a silly goof, take a real bath. (Saved again by strategically placed waves in the water - which is a good thing given he stayed in the tub looooooooong after the bubbles were gone!)


He even had a present to help him celebrate this momentous occasion... bathtub crayons.

  12. Wow, Sheridan looks fabulous, as does his scar! I'm so glad he had such a good time in the bath - I can only imagine how frustrating the sponge baths must have been for you both.
