Splish Splash Henry was taking a bath...

Last night I was giving Henry his bath (the picture below is an old picture, probably when he was 4-5 months old, but it's so cute I couldn't resist).  He is in the big tub now and he LOVES it!!  He enjoys everything from playing with the water faucet to putting the letters on the wall to splashing.  When he starts splashing he just goes nuts.  He has the best time with both of his little hands in the water just swinging them from side to side.  I often have to put the shower curtain between us so that I don't get soaked.

Well, I was watching him splash last night and thinking to myself, "Should I be letting him do this? He's making a mess and as he gets older it's only going to get worse."  As I was thinking these thoughts he grabs my hand pulls it into the water and starts shaking it around like this is the most fun he's ever had and I should try it too.  That was it for me, I decided that childhood is already too short and if Henry loves the simple joy of splashing in the bathtub then he can do just that.  Besides, as he gets older he can dry the floor himself, right?
