I remember when it was time for our son’s first bath… we were nervous as hell! He screamed, cried and we tried as fast as humanly possible to get him out of that baby bathtub so our neighbors wouldn’t think we were torturing him. Now, almost 6 months later, he is no longer content to get an in-and-out bathing. He wants to splash, grab my hair, reach for the shower curtain and sometimes pee on me—all while giggling sheepishly.
You know what though… I love the craziness (except for that whole getting peed on part). We now have multiple bath toys; such as endless rubber ducky’s, frogs and the little munchkin caterpillar spillers (they link, stack, pour, and strain water) that make it fun and interactive for the whole family. We sing his favorite songs, especially Rubber Ducky. I mean com’n… what’s a bath without singing Rubber Ducky? But remember, you MUST make the noises with the duck!
Lately, bath time has become a family production and I couldn’t be more content. There is nothing more fulfilling than to see your child smiling and giggling, while looking up at you.
So, do you do anything special during bath time? Any songs I should know about? Fun toys that make play time in the bathtub even more fun? Let me know!
P.S. Oh, and one thing you don’t need for bath time—a temperature tester—another pointless purchase. I’m pretty sure you can tell if the water is too hot or too cold by sticking your hand under the faucet!

From playing in the park to taking their kids to movie premieres, these celeb dads’s always seem to put family first. So, just in time for Father’s Day, I decided to pay homage to my top Hollywood daddy’s…
Brad Pitt: With 6 kids, he says his life is chaotic (no, crap!) but he wouldn’t have it any other way. And also because you can’t seem to find a picture off the red carpet without one of his kiddies attached to him. Angelina is a lucky woman…
Hugh Jackman: Always seen tossing little Ava in the air and playing catch with Oscar in the park. Hugh has even been caught on tape singing ‘Paparazzi’ by Lady Gaga with Ava and her friends. Now what dad do you know that would do that?
Will Smith: One of the biggest stars in Hollywood still takes time to go to all of his son’s high school football games… even when they are in Seattle. Red carpet time is always with the entire family and they are always laughing and joking around.
Ben Affleck: My personal favorite celebrity daddy. Ben likes to stay away from the paparazzi, but when they do catch him, he is always seen with his family and a big smile. You can just tell little Violet and Seraphina adore their daddy.
Matthew McConaughey: the reformed party boy has settled down with girlfriend, Camilla and their 2 adorable children. Often seen on the beach or at a Longhorns game, this happy family is always together.
