    Baby David, with his bright eyes, was staring at the bathtub filled with water and colorful floating rubber ducks. He was curious but also a bit apprehensive about his first bath.

    His mother, Mrs. Johnson, gently picked him up and tried to soothe his nerves. 'Don't worry, my little angel. Bath time will be fun,' she assured him with a warm smile.

    Mrs. Johnson started singing a soft lullaby, her soothing voice filled the room. She gently dipped baby David's feet into the water, causing him to giggle.

    Gradually, she placed him entirely in the bathtub. He squealed in delight, his fear of the water turning into fascination. His tiny hands reached for the floating ducks.

    Baby David was now splashing water around, his giggles echoing through the room. Mrs. Johnson laughed along, her heart filled with joy at her son's newfound happiness.

    Just then, Mr. Johnson peeked in, his eyes twinkling with delight at the sight. 'Looks like someone's having a blast,' he chuckled, capturing the moment with his camera.

    Soon, the laughter subsided, replaced by a soft hum as Mrs. Johnson started to clean David. His eyelids grew heavy, and he started to yawn, snuggling into his mother's arms.

    Mr. Johnson came closer, softly running his fingers through David's hair. Their little boy was falling asleep in the warm water, the fear of his first bath long forgotten.

    As the sun set, the Johnsons carefully lifted their sleeping angel from the bathtub. They wrapped him in a soft, warm towel, tucking him in for a cozy evening nap.

    They exchanged a proud look, their hearts filled with love for their little boy. Baby David's first bath had been a success, an adventure they'd always remember.

    As they softly closed the bathroom door, they knew there would be many more such adventures. But for now, their baby boy was dreaming peacefully after his first bath time adventure.

    And so, the Johnsons' home was filled with warm memories of Baby David's first bath, a story they would tell him when he grew up. A story of fear, fun, and a family's love.
