Snuggles and bathtubs
Grant is making improvements in the area of his sensory struggles. For the longest time he didn't like to be held. Now he loves to snuggle and be rocked to sleep! He also used to really not like water. We had been doing sponge baths only until recently because he'd freak out when we put him in his baby bathtub. But, in Florida I started taking baths with him. (The pool was too germy, but we were in Florida, so we had to go swimming every day. :) )He really likes it now, especially when I leave the water running so he can run his hands under the spout and feel the water pressure. He can amuse himself with that until we both turn into prunes. Yesterday Jim sweetly asked me, "Are you always going to take baths with Grant, or do you think he can start going in the tub without you?" I think he was picturing a 13 year old boy being forced to bathe with his mom. :)

Awww, I LOVE taking baths with my kids. We don't do it often, because obviously fitting 3 kids plus a pregnant mom in one tub is a bit of a stretch, but once in a while.
