Daily baths not required

I did PLENTY of reading before our little Jack came along and in more than one book, it mentioned that infants and toddlers don't need a bath daily. Three to four times a week is perfect. I mean, soap dries out the skin, as does the warm water...and with winter being so dry anyway, I felt that the 3-4 times a week policy was just fine! Well, these books failed to realize that I would be having Jack, the human mess maker! Here is a picture of lunch today!

Of course, this is what he did right when he told me that he was all done and I went to get the rag!! I was seconds away from cleaning the little booger! I have to admit that he is so darn cute though!!

This is my attempt to clean him enough to call it good...well, that wonderful red dye #2! (I think that is the number.) He went from a spaghetti face to an oompa loompa! So, a bath was necessary...bath #2 for the day! I'm not even going to mention breakfast!!

The best part...Jack pooped in the tub for the first time! What a joyous afternoon!! The crazy thing is that I wouldn't trade the kid for the world!! I do, however, hope that this next little guy will be a little cleaner! ;)
