You can't spoil a child with too much love. That's just one bit of advice from the oodles we've been given since we found out Erin was pregnant.
But can you spoil them with too much hot water bottle? Aidan now loves his bath-time but has hated getting out. We tried a few tricks but the best one seems to be warming up his towels (that's right, plural for each bath) so he feels as warm and cosy out of the water as he does in it. When it's done its job the bottle is then moved into his cot where it warms his mattress and only removed seconds before he's gently placed to where he'll hopefully be for the rest of the night. It works now but are we setting out an unattainable stall for his future life partner?
On another note...
Even though we spent more time than we planned with each other last night we decided to continue the fun this morning. Aidan seems more interested in the camera than the book though, but hey, it's hardly Dickens.
