Depositing him in the tub, I took off all his clothing, showered him down (while all the time he is reaching for me for a hug), then scrubbed him with soap. I got him out, held him, toweled him off, fresh diapered and clothed him and sent him on his way. I then rinsed out and wrapped up his clothing and threw it in the wash.
The diaper and the onesie???? I threw them away. I couldn’t bear to try and separate the onesie from the diaper so I could rinse it out and put it in the washer. So Thad has one less onesie. I think it’s recyclable, so it shouldn’t disturb the earth-lovers too much.
Clean baby? Check.
Disinfected bathtub? Check.
Biohazard contained? Check.
Sanity? Ch—?
Oh well.
Totally worth it.
