Operation "Sea Lion"

Let me introduce you to the way Little Anya embraces the concept of a bath.Initially, it was a bit of a problem for her since her parents never had difficulties in simulating perfect bathing conditions for her.Sometimes the water was too warm or too cold, at times they used a bit too much of soap and used awkward methods to support her




..Over a period of time though it got better and one day suddenly they realised that Little Anya is big enough to fit into the reclining chair..That was the turning point in the history of cleanliness for Little Anya..That ofcourse meant that suddenly her daddy got a pair of free hands that he could use in taking a few hundred more snaps..but such is life, what cant be cured has to be endured!




It is nice to see her enjoying herself inside the minitub and splash the water , at times resulting in an extra bit of cleanliness in the kitchen..

On certain sunny days, she can actually have a lot of fun sun-bathing without having to leave the cozy home..

Bathing usually cheers Little Anya up and helps her to feel very hungry and then slide away into her endless dreams which we see as series of soundless smiles and cries on her face.

This is a classical pose where she appears to be solving a differential equation with her tongue out !

It is usually Mommy's job to apply soap and clean her up, while daddy is usually busy splashing water on her and making pigeon sounds to make her smile. Our Little Anya is quite a tight fisted personality. So one has to make an effort to maker her open her fists so that we can take care of the hygiene.

Well, bathing is incentive enough for her to smile. What follows could be accompanied by some struggle and cries since her Mommy likes to 'dry clean' her and you know how Moms could get a bit rough at times !

We often have to hold ourselves in perfect readiness to feed her after her water adventure.. like a military drill, the water has to be warmed and the solution on standby.

Usually she is very happy in the bath tub and often gives generous smiles without even having to whistle the Mendelsohn concerto in E minor.


but once out of the tub, she could get real hungry very fast..but her parents are closer to putting their act together than ever..so all is not lost yet!

We actually have a recent video of Little Anya in the tub, she appears to be pretty calm in this one, infact calmer than usual, but she is enjoying herself nonetheless.
