Bath and Bedtime

My little guy HATES taking a bath and HATES going to bed.  He goes crazy.  What can I do to make it more fun?

my sun hated taking baths, so we let him start taking a bath with bubbles.

What is it that he doesn't like about it?  Do you do anything to make it fun for him?  Get a routine going every night so he knows exactly what's going to happen and don't change it.  It might sound crazy but if you can make it seem like taking a bath and going to bed are the best things in the world he might not have an attitude about it.  If you dread these things like omg he's going to act up therefore I need to be in defense mode maybe he's picking up on something.  

Get some bath toys.  Give him a relaxing massage with some oil or lotion after he gets out, talk, sing, read to him, play relaxing music, give him a choice of which pj's to wear. Try to make it a fun ritual that both of you can do to relax and unwind.
