Tub Time

Until recently, Sam had been taking a bath in our kitchen sink every night. She LOVED it in there and it had been so convenient for us. Well, our little girl is growing and it was finally time to move to the "big girl tub."

The first time that we tried out the "big girl tub" (about 10 days ago), it was not a pleasant experience for Samantha. She cried the whole time and begged me to just get her out of there. After a few nights, she seemed to enjoy the tub a little better. We decided to look into getting her some sort of "tub insert" that would not make the tub so big for her and would ease the transition. I found one online and it is perfect! It will protect her if she falls and is just the perfect size for her (with even a little growing room). It arrived the other night and after we inflated it, we put it in the living room so that she could get used to it and play with it before bathtime.

All of her friends decided to sit in the tub

That night, I was on "tub duty" by myself and it was such a positive experience! Sam loved her new tub and the best part is that she reaches for her toys in this tub. In the "big girl tub," if her toys floated away, she wouldn't bother to get them -- reaching was too scary.

So happy in our new tub!
