Bath Time for Jacob (Photostory)

Later that evening, Danielle decides to go ahead and give Jacob his bath early.  Julian and cousin Sharmaine are still out, and Rod has yet to return from his errands.  It's the perfect time for mommy and Jacob time.


"Are you ready for a little splash and play?"  (Danielle)
"Play with toys?"  (Jacob)
"Yes, you can play with toys."  (Danielle)

"You go pick out a toy while I run your bath water."  (Danielle)
"Okay, mommy."  (Jacob)

"Ummmmmm"  (Jacob)

"Mommy, this one."  (Jacob)
"Okay.  Come put him in the water."  (Danielle)

"Sweetie, you are going to have to sit down."  (Danielle)
"Mommy, hot."  (Jacob)
"It's not hot, but I will add some more cold water."  (Danielle)

Danielle made the water a little cooler, and Jacob settled into splash and play mode.  Danielle got a few scrubs in around the neck and the ears.

While in the linen cabinet, grabbing Jacob a towel, Danielle hears a familiar voice.

"Mommy, want some?"  (Julian)
"How about a hello, first?"  (Danielle)

"Sorry.  Hi, mommy.  Want some?"  (Julian)
"Hello son.  What do you have?"  (Danielle)
"It's caramel popcorn."  (Julian)
"Oooh, my favorite."  (Danielle)

Danielle helps herself to one of her favorite treats.
"I picked that out because I know you like it."  (Julian)
"Awww, you are such a sweet son.  Did you have fun with Sharmaine?"  (Danielle)
"Yep!  We went to four stores and she bought me candy and toys."  (Julian)
"Wow, that sounds like fun.  I can't wait to hear about it.  But right now I need you to take this popcorn to the kitchen, and get ready for your bath.  You're next."  (Danielle)
"Bath, now?  But I was going to play with my new toys."  (Julian)
"I'll see you back here in fifteen minutes."  (Danielle)

Julian leaves with popcorn in hand.  He's not thrilled.
"Okay Jacob, splash and play time has come to an end."  (Danielle)

"Now my baby is squeaky clean.  Let's go find your pjs."  (Danielle)

"Hey cuz.  Any chance I can get a quick shower?  I'm headed out to meet a friend."  (Sharmaine)

"Well I was going to get Julian in the tub next, but I'm sure he would be happy to wait.  So you can have it in about 5 minutes.  (pause)  So is this a date?"  (Danielle)
"No, nothing like that.  I just ran into this girl I used to know, and we decided to go grab a drink and catch up."  (Sharmaine)
"Oh, okay.  By the way, thanks for taking Julian out.  That just made his little day."  (Danielle)
"It made mine, too.  He was just so excited, it made me smile."  (Sharmaine)

After Sharmaine leaves, Danielle tidies up the bathroom before she and Jacob head out.
"Okay Jacob, lead the way.  We're going to your room."  (Danielle)


The tub, toilet, and vanity are all part of my new Gloria/Fancy Life set I bought several months ago.  I didn't realize how perfect the colors would be for the boys bathroom.

  2. Such a sweet and realistic story. I love the boys' bathroom! The colors are great. I thought it was a repaint. Would you mind sharing which body Sharmaine is on?

    1. Jewell - Thanks. I thought I was going to have to paint one of my other bathrooms, till I remembered I had this still boxed. Sharmaine is just on an Artsy fashionista body. I bought some extras before they stopped the articulation.

    1. Cindi - Thanks. Julian was probably wondering how his mom could be so mean after he brought her caramel popcorn. lol.

  5. That Gloria Fancy Life set is cute. I like the colors - aquatic. Nice theme for a child's bathroom.

    Julian is soooo cute. Jacob is a little sweetie, too. Good to see Danielle and her boys. I don't think she was being mean about the popcorn; she's a Mom so she was ticking off the stuff that she had to do. I think Julian was disappointed with her response. Sharmaine's showering/bathing will give him a few quality minutes with Mommy ;-)

    1. D7ana - I much prefer the Fancy Life colors to the other Gloria sets. It blends in well with other colors. Yes, Danielle was just being mom, but I'm sure Julian was thinking the caramel popcorn surely should have given him a little play time. After all a kid can take a bath any old time.

    1. Muff - Thanks. I totally forgot I ordered it. I can't believe I left that shipping box untouched for 4 months. They could have shipped me rocks and I would not have known.

  9. It's a good furniture set, I don't have it, but saw it on the photos earlier. I like the colors, but it seems to me, that the tub is too small. It's OK for kids like Jacob and Julian, but it's hard to imagine how adult dolls, especially Rod, would use it.

    1. Dukasha - I was thinking the same thing when I saw that tub. It's a nice soaking tub because it's so deep. I doubt that an action figure can fit. I will try it the next time I'm down there.
