My translation

I was going to give my baby a bath this evening. I prepared warm water and made sure the temperature was good. I’d just put him in the bath hub when he catched the little duck floating on the water, and patted the water happily. As a result, my sleeves were wet.

I was going to give my baby a bath this evening. I got the warm water ready and checked that the temperature was just right. I’d just lowered him into the bathtub when he grabbed the little rubber duck floating in the water and started splashing happlily. Before I knew it, my sleeves were soaked.
