"Where do you think it's a good idea to bathe her? I think the tub is too big", said suzette.

"Suzette is right mami", said selena.

"Okay, let's do it- wait I still have the small plastic blue tub for babies", said marcella.

"Where is it?", asked chris.

"I think it's in mami's room", replied selena.

"Go get it suzette", said marcella.

Suzette went to her parents' room to get the tub.

"Where should we bathe her?", asked marcella.

"Outside mami, she really enjoys the sun", replied selena.

"In the backyard", said marcella.

They all went to the backyard after suzette brought the tub.

Marcella filled the tub with bottles of water.

Selena put shampoo on valentina's head.

"Esperate mija", said marcella.

Suzette and chris laughed.

"Ponle tantito", said marcella.

Selena put a small amount of shampoo on valentina's hair and closed the shampoo.

Selena gently massaged valentina's head.

Valentina giggled.

Marcella smiled.

"I love the smell, smells like vanilla", said selena.

"Tu papa lo compro para la niña", said marcella.

Valentina splashed her small hands onto the water making it land on suzette, selena, chris, and marcella.

They all screamed.

Selena threw her head back and laughed.

Marcella shook her head and gently rinsed off valentina's head until there was no shampoo left.

"There we go", said marcella.

"She's all done", said suzette and smiled at valentina.

Chris handed selena a towel.

Selena wrapped the towel around valentina and picked her up.

"Let's go inside", said selena as she stood up.

Night went by and selena and chris went to their house next door.

Selena put a sleeping valentina in the crib and watched her sleep.

Chris sat next to selena and watched.

"She's my twin", said selena with a smile.

"She's got your eyes, hair color, some your face features", said chris.

Selena looked up at chris and smiled.

"I love you so much", said selena.

"I love you more", said chris.

Chris held selena in his arms and pecked the top of her head while watching valentina sleep.
