Giving your little one a bath can be difficult; There’s the fact that they might want to keep playing and not get in, they might feel that being naked is embarrassing, they might want you to join them, they might splash and make a mess…and all that is WITHOUT your own difficulties, like trying to not get too excitable, trying to keep the bath short and productive, making sure the water is comfy, etc. All in all, it is a complicated process!
Don’t worry, that’s why today, ScienceScribbler’s guide to giving your little in a CG/L relationship/dynamic a bath…is here!
- See what your little one is up to. The odds are, it’s something cute…but possibly messy. Maybe it’s crafts, or eating a tasty snack, or being wild and crazy outside! Whatever it is, make sure you keep an eye on them, because you need to focus on getting the bath ready for them! And be warned…LITTLES CAN GET INTO TROUBLE IN RECORD TIME. If you lose sight of them for like 2 minutes? Probably going to turn around and find out they somehow started a war with Iceland or blew up the kitchen somehow…I don’t know how, they just do it. It’s adorable and confusing and shocking all at once.
- Get to the bathroom, and get the water started…it should be pretty warm. Remember, your little one will be in the water for a while, and it’ll cool down, so warmer is better! That said, however cute it is to imagine them with a red tushy…that’s not the thing you want from hot WATER. Save that for spankings, and make sure the water isn’t painfully warm! Now stop thinking of their red tushy and FOCUS. You’ve got a job to do!
- Get all the necessary supplies BEFORE you fetch your little angel/devil/demon/cutiepie. An extra fluffy towel to dry them off, soap and shampoo and conditioner if you want to and feel comfortable with washing their hair, bath toys if you have any, bubble bath/bath bombs if you’ve got them! All of this comes BEFORE getting your little one…they probably won’t make it easy to get when they’re splashing around in the tub!
- GET YOUR LITTLE ONE! Unlike most doggies, who like to run from baths, most littles understand they need to get clean…but that doesn’t mean they won’t use mind-control powers to try to convince you that should happen later. DO NOT LOOK INTO THE SAD PUPPY EYES…THAT IS A ROOKIE MISTAKE AND YOU ARE BETTER THAN THAT! Hold their hand and get them to the bathroom.
- Now is another tricky part…getting them undressed. The trick is to NOT sit there and marvel at the shape of their body, the adorable way they blush as you slowly unbutton their pants, the way they smell up close, like fresh air and sweat and sex all mixed into a confusing…wait, what was I saying? YES, RIGHT…don’t focus on that. And don’t look at their eyes much or you’ll notice the depth of color, the way they seem scared but trusting, telling you with their compliance so much more than with words…letting you take control just so they can show you they trust and believe in you, they want to allow you to be the leader, because it’s how they show love in its most primal, deep form…so, yeah. Not meeting their eyes.
- Get them in the bath! Slowly. No need for tidal waves. Try to avoid giving them too many toys in the bath, too, they’ll get overexcited. And make sure they’re in a position where you can help CLEAN them. The whole point of this mess was to CLEAN them, so stop just wanting to reach your hand between their legs and…wait, seriously, STOP!!!! FOCUS!
- Actually wash them! Wash cloth, loofah, by hand, with soap or shampoo or whatever you’ve got, go go go go go! You have a limited time until their nudity overwhelms your focus, or your little one gets antsy…so goooooo! And when it comes to washing their prince or princess parts, and tush-tush-badonkadonks…try to keep it PG. Well, PG-13. Or at least just R-rated…none of that NC-17 bullcrap. (For people who are confused…that is movie ratings of age appropriateness here in the states)
- Are they clean now? Well, aside from being dirty in their minds, are they clean? Good! Now FLUFFY TOWEL TIME!!! That means leaving the toys in the water, please…and no need to splash as you get up! Hey, hey, just because your little one is naked does NOT mean you need to keep staring at the almost superhumanly beautiful way they look in this light…sure, they might not see their own beauty, but YOU do. You see the cute shape of their eyes. You see the almost perfect smile, even if their teeth aren’t orthodontically perfect…you see the way their hair falls ‘just so’ and makes you want to fuss with it.
Wait…what were we discussing?
Oh, yes, TOWEL TIME!
Fluffy towels are comfy towels, so dry dry dry dry dry! And if you are able to guide your little one or even pick them up, go from their to the bedroom! - It’s probably pajama time. So find something cute and comfy. No, not just that one really sexy thing you want to see them wear now….god, you are so turned on it’s silly. Stop it! Focus on the PAJAMAS! SERIOUSLY!
I’ll wait…
…
…
Good. Get the pajamas, and help your little one get dressed. Doing it FOR them and helping makes them feel loved and cute and adorable. So go! - Now…is it bedtime? Maybe not. Playtime? Well…maybe some kind of playing…but whatever it is, focus on reminding your little one that they did a good job and are all squeaky clean now! However hard it is to be a caregiver, it is STILL extra hard and scary to be little and let someone wash you…it’s a really intense, deeply emotional and open thing. So remind them they did well and you love them! And if you ARE gonna send them to bed…I have a guide for that, too! (That guide here!)
Now good luck! Try to make sure they’re clean, despite your apparently very dirty, and loving, mind!
Have at it…
