The sun had just begun to rise, casting a soft golden glow over the yard. It was a peaceful morning, the perfect time for baby Yuri’s first warm bath.
Mom carefully carried the tiny newborn monkey in her hands, his delicate body still adjusting to the new world around him. His fur was slightly messy from sleeping, and his tiny fingers curled up as he yawned sweetly. Today was a special day—his first warm bath.
She filled a small basin with warm water, testing the temperature to make sure it was just right. Yuri, unaware of what was coming, blinked sleepily as Mom gently lowered him into the water.
The moment his tiny body touched the warm water, he flinched slightly, his eyes widening in surprise. A small whimper escaped his lips, but as Mom cupped water over his back and soothed him with a soft voice, he quickly relaxed.
Yuri’s little hands splashed weakly, his instincts unsure of what to do. The warmth surrounded him, calming his newborn nerves. Mom carefully rubbed his soft fur, making sure to clean every tiny fold and wrinkle with the gentlest touch.
As the bath continued, Yuri’s tiny face scrunched up. He let out a tiny cry when water touched his ears, shaking his head in protest. Mom chuckled, whispering, “It’s okay, little one. Just a little more.”
After rinsing him off, she lifted him from the water, wrapping him in a soft, warm towel. Yuri snuggled into it, his tiny body shivering slightly before settling in the cozy warmth.
Mom held him close, gently drying his fur. His eyes fluttered sleepily, the warmth of the bath making him drowsy. With a final soft kiss on his tiny forehead, she whispered, “All clean now, my little Yuri.”
Wrapped up and safe in her arms, Yuri drifted off to sleep, his first bath a sweet and comforting memory.
