Leia's Bath

Saturday, February 17, 2007

Leia doesn't really like taking baths so getting her to stay in the tub can be a challenge:

She may not like it, but I love giving her baths. I see it as a time for bonding:

You can see why I like it more than she does:

Look at my baby all clean:

She's ever so keen to get out of the tub:

She helps dry herself off with the towel:

Almost done:

Attempts for freedom:

All clean and cozy, taking a nap:

All this was in preparation for Chinese New Year. On the first day, you're not supposed to clean or do any work. That includes showers and even cooking, specifically you're not to use a knife. All these superstitions have something to do with luck. If you clean, you wash away the new luck the new year has brought in.
