We have a bit of video from the first bath. They both screamed at the top
of their lungs. When we got home we practically had to bathe them in cold
water--or at least room temperature--in order for them to tolerate it. It
took months for them and then Jesse had a setback because Paull tried to
dunk him. Now, when they're feeling good and happy, they love baths.
Although they still don't care to get their hair washed.
