Bath Time Success

Dearest Joshua David~

Hello sweet one! Well, yesterday's bath adventure was a success! Your first bath at home! We did it the way the nurses at the hospital taught us, so it was nothing new to you (quick washcloth bath). You did really well too! You were all cute in your hooded towel. Daddy and I did it together, and we did it fast so that you won't get too cold.

Today was interesting for us .... you never appeared to be sleepy! You were awake all day! Daddy and I tried everything to get you to go to sleep. We tried jiggling you, swaying, singing, playing soft music, feeding you, changing you .... and you appeared to drift off every time we did something .... but every time we put you down you started to cry. We've determined that you just like to be held! Finally, as I held you while we ate our dinner, and you started to fall asleep.

Well, as I told you yesterday, today was your first Carolina basketball game since being home from the hospital. We realized last night that all your TarHeel gear was too big for you, so we just put a hat on you (that your mimi got you) during the game.

We didn't win this game, but don't fret! We'll come back even stronger for the next one! ;-) Oh, and I never told you .... we won the National Championship this year ('08-'09 season) for basketball! That means you were born during a Championship year! You have that in common with your gigi (should I tell you what year she was born in?)! ;-)

You are so precious!

I love you little Joshua!
