the trick to giving a bath

is to have bubbles, lots of bubbles...if so, there will be no chasing of the pepe, the pepe will give a cheerful "yes" to the passing mention of the word "bath" and run up the stairs toward the bath, taking his clothes off. and if you are lucky enough to move fast, you can place him in the bath in time for the inevitable pee, which otherwise would (and does, often) end up on the bathroom mat.

next challenge is to stock up on bubble bath when on sale...with $5/bottle and a boy who now wants daily bubble baths, with lots of bubbles, one can run up a steep bill...
