It’s time for another Sophia confession: She stinks.

She’s a sloppy lil thing sometimes who likes to root around in dirt, lay in a dirty bed after having an accident, or getting into something else that she’s not supposed to. But with the stink comes our favorite time of the year bath season. In the winter, all anyone wants to do is curl up and stay warm, having a cooling down bath is just plain terrible. And as the weather gets warmer (except today) that means we get to bring out Sophia’s enemy – the bath tub.

Sophia About to Take the Plunge

I feel like I am torturing our little princess every time I bathe her… but for the well being of everyone in Shaw, it’s something that has to be done.

Sophia's Rinse Job. Doesn't she look happy?

Getting her in the tub is hard enough, but keeping her in there long enough for the vile-ness to escape her angelic little body is a real fete.

Shampoo Time

Another escape attempt.

The girl's final rinse.

She couldn't get out soon enough.

After a quick towel dry, she’s sparkly clean and good-smelling once again. (notice how wet my clothes are from someone splashing and fighting me?) Now let’s see how long this lasts…

P.S. Thanks, Gabe for taking photos and getting your hands dirty. Well, he has been taking photography classes, so I guess at least, that means better quality shots for y’all to enjoy. Until he starts charging me for the photos…
