He is so much better at it than me. I have no idea why, but bath time with mommy means screaming. Bath time with daddy means splashing and giggling!

However, DH started a new work schedule so I think I will be doing a lot of the baths since he won't get home until after 6pm and our youngest goes to bed around then.

The hardest part is detangling our daughter's hair... other than that, it's pretty easy. Bee cooks dinner, so she's able to get a little break during baths. Sometimes though, baths are incredibly draining - especially if the hair rinsing doesn't go well. Who does the bath(s)?
