It's the Little Things...

When becoming a Parent you realise it's the little moments that count... But for real... The little accomplishments and successes throughout your day can make you feel oh so much better. Even if it's just getting a shower in, or a diaper change without tears, or getting the squirmy baby in her carseat without setting off the fire engine of baby screams ( you know what I'm talking about! And if you don't... Well... Not sure if we can be friends...) Today I experienced one of these moments. The tiny moment that was so small in my day but just made the world better! So... A bit of back story here... Rhapsody LOATHs baths. We have had only two baths without tears and that was because I got in with her.... So. Today I was sitting in my chair, doing a couple of crafty things for my best girls baby shower, Rhapsody was crawling around, jabbering, and exploring the house. She came into the living room, crawled over to me and stood up. Nothing too out of the ordinary there... Except I smelled the horrible odour of male dog pee. I looked down at Rhaps and saw that she was soaked. GROSS!!!!! Apparently Nali had peed and Rhaps just crawled right through it! I stripped her down and started running a bath. I hate bath time when I'm by myself, but at this point I had no choice. While the bath filled I cleaned the mess, let Rhaps crawl around nakey baby style, and gave my dog some seriously scathing stares... Once the bath was warm and full, I put Rhaps in her brand new bath seat. A nifty little thing that suctions to the floor of the bath and has a back and front to keep a little miss stable. And to my surprise... NO crying! Oh yeah! Happy momma! We giggled, played, she ate bubbles, I washed her hair, we even played with the sprayer on the shower! It was fantastic! Momma didn't even have to get in the bath, and there were no tears! Most successful bath ever. Little did I know, the horrible Nali had struck again... Pee... A giant puddle... Exactly where the last one was! After copious amounts of shouting at a wolffish fiend, I got Rhaps in some jammies and put her in the crib so I could clean up the mess. On my way to the kitchen I stubbed my pinkie toe and cut it, then slipped when grabbing the paper towels. I then had to clean up the disgusting mess left by my gross dog! Meanwhile an adorable baby screamed her head off because mommy wasn't giving her a cuddle. After ALL of that I was still in a good mood. Such a little, happy moment made the rest of my day better. I gave my daughter a nice cuddle when I was done being a maid for Nali. A short feed later, and she was out like a light! Yay me! I'm one rockin' mom tonight!!

Now enjoy this picture of my Nakey Baby while the bath was draining!
