JC's 1st Bath

The competetive rivalry between siblings has already begun. Needing to prove his own seaworthiness after M made the 2 and Under Olympic Dive Team (TAUODT), JC jumped into the nearest body of water (our bathtub). Not wanting to cut the new guy any slack, Coach Dad started JC on the official TAUODT regimen! This isn't so bad JC thought initially....




Ugh, things got decidedly worse once the sponging commenced.



Nothing in his short life could have prepared JC for the last part of his training for the day --- his first removal from the water!

JC looked a tad shell-shocked after it was all said and done.

"Was it worth it?" JC's mom asked. Unsure whether his sibling rivalry had helped or hurt him, he was noncommital in his response.

Ten minutes later, however, he was eating and pledging to do the same tomorrow and everyday until he makes the TAUODT!

How cute is he after a bath?
Good thing you posted, because I was getting ready to comment that JC (is that really what we are now calling him? a secret homage, perhaps B?) was feeling a bit left out...so good coverage.

Man, I wish they had the TAUODT when I was growing up! Little J and Big M are so LUUUUcky!

Those are some classic post-bath expressions, little J!

Love,
Aunt JKC

JC you look so adorable...even after the, "sponging commenced".

The TAUODT will be lucky to have you!
