I used JOHNSON’S® for my little one and for myself as part of a sponsored post for Socialstars #johnsonspartners #SoMuchMore
Dads are our everyday superheroes. I still remember being a little bitty girl and thinking that my dad was the best man ever. He was tall (to me), knew everything about Sci-Fi and comic books, and he could drive a REAL CAR. See? Superhero.
So, when I see my kids looking at their dad the same way I looked at mine when I was little, I know that everything is right in our little world. One of my favorite things to see is my husband bonding with our babies. While bath time is usually my time to connect with the kids, I do let dad have some bubble fun every once in a while, especially around Father’s Day.
Did you know? Dads play a key role in bath time globally: 54% of dads are the primary bathers in their households.
We are big fans of bubble baths here, and almost every bath for all the kids in our home use JOHNSON’S® baby bubble bath for their bath time fun. No need to save bubbles for special occasions, this baby bubble bath and wash with the CLINICALLY PROVEN MILDNESS formula is gentle enough to use once a day on baby girls and boys for bath time fun and bonding.
When Dad and Baby Frugal get together to have bath time, they go all out with the bubbles. I sort of get annoyed with how much JOHNSON’S® baby bubble bath Daddy uses, but apparently “the baby needs extra bubbles because he’s the smallest.” Whatever, bro.
After their bath time, Daddy does love to lotion down the kids. He does a great job of it, and this is his usual bath duty every night. The JOHNSON’S® baby bedtime lotion is a new favorite of ours, since it calms Baby Frugal down before bed.
But, because Dad is Dad, he tends to wind Baby Frugal back up by tossing him all over, tickling him, and causing all kinds of shenanigans. Dad’s superhero prerogative to do #SoMuchMore, I guess.
I hope the dads in your life have a wonderful Father’s Day! Do they handle bath time in your home, or is that usually Mom’s job? Let me know in the comments below.
Amiyrah,
I love it when I am with one with the universe and it knows exactly where to send me. I am so sad and angry lately with my siblings because they will not or cannot help me with caregiving for our mother. I have been caring for our mother by myself for 6+ years and it is sometimes overwhelming. My brother told me not to say things out of anger and to remain peaceful. Your essay on sadness helped me realize that I am allowed to feel angry which in turn makes me sad. I know these feelings will pass and I look forward to having peace, love and happiness in the next few days. I’m so happy I found your space.

Thank you so much for writing this, Lisa! I’m glad that the post helped you. The older we get, the harder it is to get in touch with our emotions, and validate them. Inside Out really helped me to finally realize that.
Beautiful post, Amiyrah. And yes, Daddy all the way. It’s the LEAST he could do while Mommy cooks dinner, washes dishes and cleans up after everyone. Kidding. We’re now a smooth-oiled machine (SOMETIMES) and pretty good tag-teamers. With 3 kids needing to get to bed asap to get restful sleep for the next schoolday, we need to split up the parental duties in the evenings. But it really does lend itself to good bonding time with Dad (who’s at work during the day) to have him not only help with bath time but much of the bedtime routine.
