Bath Night

Have you ever tried bathing a nineteen month old with a cast? It's not as easy as you may think.

First, forget the bathtub. You lose all control over the injured limb. So, the only option you have is the kitchen sink.

Which, isn't too bad.

But first, you have to take (at least) two trash bags and wrap them around the smallest cast known to man, then tape the hell out of it with medical tape and pray to god you didn't miss a spot where water can leak through and get the cast wet.

But, she had to have a bath. The last bath Anne had was Sunday morning and she was so dirty there could have been no way I could take her out in public tomorrow.

Needless to say, the bath wasn't *too* bad. it just takes some time, some patience, and a ton of tape.

It's going to be a long six to eight weeks.
