Tonight was not a bath night. Ian only takes a bath every other night, unless there is a need for one thanks to some dirt a washcloth can't take care of. He has some skin issues so too much time in the bath water is very drying for his skin.
So on our non-bath nights I just get Ian dressed in a clean diaper and his pajamas and we have one last chance to get any ya-ya's out before bed.
I managed to get through the diaper change but when it came to putting on his PJ's Ian flat out said "No!"
He wiggled off my bed and started to pull off his shirt. I helped him to get the shirt off since it would have to come off anyway to put on his pajama shirt.
At this point Ian went running for the bathroom yelling, "I wanna ba" as he went. This is the second time in his little life he has asked for a bath. The child that just a few months ago practically needed a sedative to get in the bathtub is now demanding a bath.
My husband caught up with him in the hallway first and tried to explain that tonight was not a bath night and to go get dressed.
Ian just simply said "I wanna ba" again and in one swift motion took off his diaper and handed it to me.
He knows how to take off his diaper? Oh no! I knew this day could come but I am wholly unprepared for what is sure to come next. I know you know what I mean...the spontaneous naked time. Lord help us all!
I was in complete shock that I just ran the bath without even trying to reason with Ian.
Ian happily climbed in and played with his bath toys while I cleaned him up. After the cleaning part of the bath was over he played for another couple minutes then handed me his bath toys one at a time. "All done."
After the last toy was back into the basket, Ian stood up and reached out to me, "All done."
After a few laps around the house nude he submitted to put on his PJ's and that was that.
Chris took him to bed and I came to write this post still confused by the events of the evening, and amazed by how much my son is changing each and every day.
**I know this is my second post today, but it was a story too good not to share with you.
