Forest of the Plains

Alternative title: “apparently we don’t bathe our child often enough”

Jacob was playing, but seemed to be getting agitated about something. Suddenly he started crawling with obvious purpose. Through the living room, through the kitchen, through the laundry room (right past some usually tempting electrical cords), into the bathroom, straight to the bathtub. He then pulled himself up to the tub, reached into the tub as if there was water in it, threw a couple bath toys into the tub, and then looked up at me.

Jacob is often focused, but not normally so purposeful as to crawl past many tempting things in order to reach a goal. Still confused I asked, “Jacob, do you want a bath?”

“YEAH!”

So he got a bath. Does this mean he’ll stop making a mess with his food in favor of cleaner living? Yeah, I don’t think so either!
