Bath Girl


Natalie gives Cente his bath every night at 7:00. She volunteered for this task the first night Cente arrived and has done it every night since. What a blessing to me. After the bath, she puts on his diaper while he brushes his teeth. She rubs baby lotion on him and puts on his pajamas. After combing his hair, she delivers him to me for his bedtime story. I read a Bible story to him from the Jesus Storybook Bible and then sing a few hymns out of my hymnal while he cuddles up in my lap. After I pray for him, I put him into his crib and he falls asleep. He doesn't cry any more at bedtime. I think this routine is comforting to him. It's one of my favorite parts of the day now.
