Purple Baths

I'm was in the midst of spring cleaning (before summer gets here) when I came across

my container of Japanese bath powder.  My best friend's mom is from Japan

and almost everytime she would go  for a visit she'd bring us home a container of

purple bath powder.  It began when Taylor was about 3 (she's 15 now).  Every single

bath revolved around the purple bath powder.  It makes the water purple and smell

heavenly.   Well obviously bath time for Taylor ended a long time ago and I'd completely

forgotten all about it until I came across the half full container.  Now my little man Dylan

is all about the baths.  He loves them....stays in them until he prunes up and I eventually 

have to drag him out.  I decided to give him a choice of Woody/Buzz bubbles or

the "purple" bath.  You can see what he picked.  

The smell took me back to all the special times I had with Taylor when she use

to spend about every weekend with her Nana.  I miss those days......

As the bible verse says (Ecclesiastes 3:11)  To everything there is a season....

So now I got my sweet little buddy to have sleep overs with.

And luckily he loves the "purple" bath.

I think I'm gonna have to put in a special request on Bachan's (Kimiko) next trip.
