Bath time!

Until today, we did not let the three kids take a bath with Xiao Yu.  This was a caution from our adoption pediatrician--in case Xiao Yu had any contagious diseases.  We found out this weekend that all the tests came back negative and so the kids were finally granted permission to take baths together.

This was very exciting to the girls, as they have been asking to do this since day one.  They are still enamored with Xiao Yu's cuteness and want to do everything with him.

So at first, Xiao Yu joined in on the bath Gabriel was just ending.  Gabriel was unimpressed but they were mostly able to share the toys.  There was some tussling over things, but for the most part, they did fine.  Gabriel does enjoy making Xiao Yu laugh, and they enjoy laughing loudly together, so they goofed around for a while.  Gabriel was very tired (which was why he was already in the bath, he needed an early bedtime) and starting acting up, so we got him out.

 Then the girls got in and these three had lots of fun.  Eliana was very excited to get in with Xiao Yu, and they quickly taught him how to pose for a picture and smile.  After this picture was taken, Xiao Yu kept trying to put his arms around their necks and pull them close again.

Next step...all four in the tub at once!  Maybe next time...
