Well... I'm sort of to that second baby point, I guess... in my own way. It's not exactly as casual as rinsing off a binki with water yet, but I'm getting there. For example: I've really loosened up about the way I wash bottles. With Layla, I wouldn't wash the bottles with any other dishes in the sink and I used a different scrubber for bottles only. I'd bleach the sink after washing all other dishes and then put the bottles in the clean sink to be washed. (Remember, I've never had a dishwasher in all the 10 years of marriage) Then the bottles were to be dried separately than the rest of the dishes also, on their own drying rack. With Rider I've really relaxed and now the bottle sit in the dirty sink with all the rest of the dirty food and dishes. I EVEN put the bottles in the same water as the rest of the dishes to be washed at the same time! I fret over it and it makes me a little irritated, but at least I'm doing it right! I still however use a "bottles only" scrub brush and the bottles are still to dry on their own drying rack. And the drying rack has to be placed on top of a white Gerber cloth diaper rag, not a kitchen dish towel. I suppose I'm a bit chauvinistic about baby bottles mixing with the icky dishes with family left overs in the sink... but it's progress right!?
Who knows, maybe by baby number three I really will just let Kashi clean all the bottles. Or maybe not, just the thought of that made me want to check into a psych ward. Because really - I'm hoping to have me a real live dishwasher in a new house by then anyway... one with a sanitizing mode, just for bottles. :)
You should be proud of me... this is the cleanest Buca's room has been in the two weeks since Rider has been here. See! I really am chilling out people ;)
