Yes Folks! Size Matters! When it comes to a baby's bathtub it does anyway. This is Alex in his brand spanking new bathtub. Previously he cried when given a bath. At first the sound of the water coming out of the faucet scared the heck out of him. By the time he got over his fear of the sound of running water he had grown so much that he was busting out of his space saving fold up tub. So he cried in discomfort.
What is a mommy to do? He is only seven months old. Thus he still needs assistance sitting up. So putting him in the main tub is out. But he is HUGE!!! The kid is growing faster than most weeds. Even a lot of the tubs that are supposedly toddler friendly seemed too little. I looked everywhere there is to look around here. Have you ever shopped for baby products? Some stores simply have too many choices. Other stores don't even carry what you are looking for (see my post on Cute Baby Boy Clothes).
Finally it was back to Kmart. I picked up the one remaining tub on the shelves (Apparently we were not the only people in need of a baby bath tub!). No contours - this seemed like a good thing. It came with toys. Toys are good. It has a non-skid surface to put baby's butt on. Another plus!
As you can see in the picture below, he is eating pancakes. Anyone who has spent time around a child knows that this is a recipe for a big mess. I worried about the ensuing bath, but you can see above that he actually enjoys it now! Splishy Splashy!!!
