New Bath Game

Usually in the bathtub Luke’s favorite game involves throwing. I would put him in the tub, and give him all his toys (sticky foam letters and numbers you put on the tub walls, and a ducky). Then I settle in with a book and sit on top of the toilet. Then Luke starts laughing and throws all his toys out of the tub at me. When all the toys are out, I put them all back in. We usually do this three times and then I tell him “all done toys, now we have to make you smell good”, and we wash up.


Well that was our usual game, for probably the last 6 months or so. Well the last time I gave him his “toys”, he decided he wanted to try something new. Just like in the living room where he has started piling all his toys in a corner somewhere, he thought hen should try it in the tub as well. So here was Luke trying to pile all his foam letters and numbers into a “corner” of the tub. It was pretty funny to watch. He actually got them all piled together , but once he sat and “admired” his work the foam letters started floating away from his “pile”. So then he would get the “run-a-way” letter and throw it back into the pile…and sure enough it or another letter would start to float away again.

When the letters kept floating away, Luke decided he would try another “corner”. So he put all the foam letter/numbers and the ducky from one end of the tub to the other. Of course he piled them all together again, and they eventually started floating away from him…again.

He went back and forth two times with his piles before I called an end to it. Silly little man.
