not too hot and not too cool
The bath tub fills with water.
I get myself undressed.
I need some help with my T-shirt
but not with all the rest.

Not too hot
and not too cool,
not like at
the swimming pool.


I get in and play a while
with bath toys all around me.
When I get wrinkly it is time
to get my washcloth soapy.

When I'm fresh and dry and clean
I climb into my bed.
And then before I go to sleep
I get a story read.
