#4 Splish Splash



Thankfully camera lenses only capture so much, leaving the rest to the imagination. In this shot Buxton and daddy take their first bath together in the big boy tub. Like any first, this bath left a little figuring out to do.

Daddy did what daddies do, playing with the water as much as cleaning with it. Buxton did what little boys do, half cringing in that squinted, wrinkled look that almost asks aloud what in the world his daddy is doing. We both did what came naturally.

And if nature speaks for much, that first bath will not be the last time. Daddy plays with Buxton every day, and will just as long as he can. Buxton will wonder what daddy is doing, what he is thinking, maybe even what mommy would think of it all.

And when he does, daddy will have this picture to show Buxton--if nothing else--that such a time coming is not the first.
