The Bathtub and the Cherries
I am continuing my saga on my adventures with the bathtub.
I discovered that my baby LOVES cherries! While it is wonderful, cherries are one of the more labor intensive fruits to feed a baby.
I love this time of the year. Patrick indulges this side of me by stopping at every cherry stand For the few precious weeks in June when it's available.
I was giving the boys a bath and decided this was a good time for me to snack. When Possum saw me snacking. He became very excited and tried to get out of the tub!
To keep him in the tub, I started leaving cherries on the side so he could eat at his leisure while he frolicked in his bath. TALK ABOUT A DIVA!
I justify this behavior by convincing myself this was a way to get him to eat cherries and keep cherry stains at a minimum.
Yup, stand back all you Mamas out there. I think I have Mother of the Year all wrapped up!

Bathtub 1, Possum 0
Possum is a stubborn one. He also appears to be a strong one. His latest thing is lifting his body up doing an arm press against the edge of the bathtub. This is a new one for us as Scrumpy never did this, or rather if he tried we told him no and he never did it again.
I told Possum no and then proceeded to use the bathroom. The next thing I heard was a thump and crying. As I rushed out, I saw Possum planted in the tub. You see, he was not upset he got hurt, he was upset he got in the tub and made so much noise he got caught!
Being mother of the year, I took the time to find my phone and snap a few pictures before extracting him from the tub.

He threw his toys in first to prep the tub.

He is so mad he can't even look at me.

Gramma will hate this post
Gramma will probably lecture me on posting this photo, but I think it just captures his essence at this particular time in his life. His preference for comfort. These are the photos I will use to taunt him when he gets older.
And that's when Patrick will retort " who was the sick puppy that captured this embarrassing moment in the first place?!"
And I will say,"MAMA!"

He Got Game
He may be little, but he can play. Okay, he can't really play, but don't tell him that. He thinks he is one of the big boys.
Here he is playing a little three on three with his cousins. Whether he knows it or not, he should be very grateful to cousin Jonathan and cousin Alex for being patient with him and giving him the chance to pass the ball now and then!
