Baby Chronicles: Notes from your child

I am imagining Gab saying this to me so I will not feel guilty when I do some things here. This is for all parents.

1. Don’t spoil me. I know quite well that I ought not to have all I ask for. I’m only testing you.

11. Don’t forget that I cannot explain myself as well as I should like. That is why I am not always accurate.

Thank God for husbands who let their wives soak in the tub after a long tiring day.

*This is a paid review

I know it’s a very long title. It was sweltering hot here and it’s not even summer. I bathe Gabriel three times yesterday because he was so sticky (with sweat, milk, and baby food) even if the fan’s already beside him all day. And when you have a baby boy (whose already crawling) and the cooking and house cleaning to do, the heat becomes more unbearable. Not to mention that I’ve also been watching Pacquiao and Margarito’s fight online. Doing all these things at the same time can sometimes get to you. Okay, watching the fight is a leisurely activity, but the point is, it is so darn hot in here! That’s why when my husband got home from work, I asked him if he could take care of the baby after I feed and bathe him, so I can soak in the tub and just relax. And being the darling husband that he is, of course he let me.

So I prepared my bath and the minute I got into the tub and smell my pomegranate frangipani soap (which I bought weeks ago!) I am already relaxed. Oh how I love taking a long leisurely baths! I missed it! the last time I did it was after I gave birth and it’s not leisurely at all because it’s supposed to help me with my “after birth” recovery. Never mind that the tub is not that long, I still enjoyed it.

However, after browsing through betterbathrooms.com, I cannot help but wish we have a beautiful and luxurious bathroom suites. Maybe someday we’ll have one of those. Right now, I am truly content with just an hour of relaxing on our tub, with a sweet smelling bubble soap and my feet up (yep, the tub is that short!).
