When it was bath time today, something funny happened the moment I told little Yumi that she would be the first one to take a bath. Normally, Yumi loves splashing water, playing with bubbles, and enjoying the warm bath… but when she hears “first turn,” her whole personality suddenly changes! Today was no different — her reaction was absolutely priceless.
The moment I picked her up, Yumi froze like a little statue, eyes wide open as if she couldn’t believe what she was hearing. She clung to my shirt with her tiny hands, looking at me with the most dramatic expression, as though taking a bath first was the biggest challenge of her life. It was impossible not to laugh at how serious she looked over something so small.
As soon as I placed her near the water, she tried to lean away, stretching her body backward like a little noodle, hoping I would put her down. But once she realized she had no choice, she made the funniest pouty face — lips pushed forward, eyebrows dropping, and her whole body tensing with adorable attitude. It was like she was saying, “Why me first? What did I do?”
But the moment her feet touched the warm water, everything changed. Suddenly Yumi relaxed, letting out a tiny squeak and then splashing the water with her hands. Within seconds, her dramatic attitude disappeared, replaced with pure joy. She started kicking, playing, and even dipping her face into the bubbles. It was as if she forgot she was protesting just minutes earlier.
Watching her go from panic to excitement is always one of the cutest parts of her daily routine. Bath time for Yumi is truly a rollercoaster of emotions — from shock, to pouting, to total happiness. And honestly, that’s what makes her so precious and entertaining. Every reaction, every expression, every little dramatic moment… it all turns into heart-melting cuteness.
Yumi’s “first turn to bathe” moment will always be one of the funniest and sweetest scenes of her day. Truly priceless!
