Yesterday evening she had her first bath with a bath toy. We had been in the big tub for floating/swimming. But, this was the first time to sit up in the big tub. I had thought she would sit on the tub between my legs, we went in while there was only a couple of inches of water. She wanted nothing to do with that. I think it was slippery. So, I sat her in my lap and filled the tub. That was OK. She didn't know quite what to think. A little scary, but mommy was holding her. I washed her while holding her. Then I showed her the bath Octopus. It is a soft fabric toy octopus that floats. Instead of tenacles it has these floating circles. She just looked at for awhile. Then she reached out for it. She splashed the water. I made a happy noise, and she looked at me and smiled. I said, "You splashed" and then I splashed the water. So, then she splashed at the octopus for about 20 minutes. At one point she grabbed the toy and chewed on it. Scotland came home and was searching for her rubber ducky. While he was still looking, she went from playing to "Mommy, enough!, get me out."
Today we had a pretty ordinary day. We had planned on getting up for the 7am Easter service, but it stormed last night and the electricity went out. Scotland went to bed early and I had a hard time getting her to bed. I am worried about her lead levels, but trying not to worry.
