Bath in the sink & wet rags

One morning Isaac woke me up with a blow out diaper at 5am. By 8 that morning he had 4 more blow outs (poor boy has been on 3 different antibiotics in the past 2 months-- his ear infections won't go away). Instead of bathing him in the tub, we decided to try the sink. He loved it! Now, everytime we go to the sink and turn on the water, he thinks it's bath time!





Poor Isaac has been teething pretty badly, trying to cut his top teeth. On a whim I got a washcloth (one of his, they're softer) and ran it under cold water (I didn't freeze it or put it in the fridge). I wrung it out and gave it to him. Best.teething.helper.ever.
He sucks it, chews it, pulls it out while biting it. It instantly helps! I do have to watch him like a hawk, though, because he likes to stuff the whole thing in his mouth and can choke himself. Otherwise it's fabulous. He carries it around like a dog toy-- in his mouth so his hands are free. Crazy boy!
