Baby Mimi was supposed to have a calm and gentle bath that morning, but like always, she found a way to turn the moment into the cutest little chaos. Just as I prepared the warm water, the tiny towel, and her favorite soft sponge, Mimi suddenly froze on the floor. She looked up at me with those big round eyes… and then it happened. A tiny puddle formed right beneath her. She had peed—again—right before bath time.
At first, I didn’t know whether to laugh or sigh. But Mimi immediately lifted her little hands and made that innocent “I’m sorry” face, as if she knew she had done something silly. It was impossible to be upset. Her tiny lips trembled, and she shuffled toward me, almost asking for comfort. How could anyone scold that adorable little creature?
I picked her up gently, and she clung to me like a baby who wanted protection from her own mistake. The warm water was ready, so I placed her slowly into the tub. The moment the water touched her toes, Mimi relaxed completely. She leaned back, letting me wash her arms, her belly, and even the little legs that had just caused all the trouble. She splashed lightly, giggling in the sweetest way, as if she had already forgotten the whole accident.
Throughout the bath, she kept looking up at me, making sure I wasn’t upset. I kept smiling at her, reassuring her with every pat and wipe. After all, baby monkeys don’t know better—they only know what comfort feels like. And Mimi was happiest when she felt safe and loved.
By the time her bath was done, she smelled clean, fresh, and impossibly cute. I wrapped her in a soft towel, and she snuggled into my chest with a tiny satisfied sigh. Moments like this remind me that raising Mimi isn’t about perfection—it’s about patience, love, and all the funny little accidents that make her who she is.
Too cute to scold… and impossible not to love.
