Baths for Daddy

I'm posting this because it's a part of our routine now but mostly because I'm afraid Grace will tell you about how she gives her daddy baths (like she told everyone in Walgreens the other day).

The last two Sundays Jack has run home from church- yes, run home- it's about 18 miles. Grace got very upset the first time- she kept telling him to get in the car and that he was silly to run home. When Jack runs that long, he often requests an ice bath when he gets home to help his muscles heal. Grace has never been old enough or awake to help with the task of getting it ready. We literally fill the tub with ice and cold water. I asked Grace to help me this time and she was very excited to do so. She took her job of taking the buckets of ice from the kitchen to the tub very seriously. Then when Jack got home (and put on his bathing suit), she stood by the tub and insisted on putting the ice all over his legs. Poor Jack- we don't usually rub the ice all over him- it was so cold..

The next Sunday Grace begged to do another bath while Jack was running. She kept going in the bathroom and tried to turn on the water. She was very excited when we got the call that he was close by and we could start the bath.

Everyday Grace asks Jack if he is going to run and if she can give him a bath. And sometimes when we are in public, she will randomly ask me very loudly if her daddy is running and if she can give him a bath when he gets home like she did last time...
