Bath Time Miracle!

I might have to buy stock in this stuff!

What started it all!


Let me give you some background...ever since about August or September Molly somehow got scared of the bathtub and refused to sit down in the water anymore. At first she would cry the whole time, then she would tolerate it, and recently she started to play again, but always standing up. We have tried toys, taking a bath with Gigi, taking a bath with Mommy, other bubbles and never even came close to sitting. I would say, "Molly, don't you want to sit down in the water?" To which she would promptly reply, with no hesistation "NO!!" So, we have been going on like this for months, until TONIGHT!!!
So, tonight we were having dinner and we were running behind schedule. As we were finishing up Molly starts dumping her noodles on the table and putting them back in the bowl, then she starts putting the bowl on her head, which made me laugh and take pics, so she continued to do it. Well, then I realized that her hair was covered in butter and she would have to have a bath. Luckily, I had recently picked up some Little Einsteins Bubble Bath, thinking that would help with our bath situation since she loves "Nine-niens". And believe it or not she finally sat down!!!!! I couldn't believe my eyes! Of course I didn't have my camera near. Although this may not seem like that big of a deal to most, we have been trying to get back to loving the bath for so long, it is a huge deal to us! And I believe we are back because when I made her get out, it was a HUGE tantrum! Oh well, it was worth it! Thank you Einsteins Bubble Bath!
Side note--We had a visit from our Parents As Teachers lady tonight. She did an evaluation on Molly and Molly did very well. It is always interesting when she comes and asks Molly to do things that I would never think she could do (like draw a straight line) and she can do it! What a great program. They always give us great ideas for activities to to with her and its nice to have those evals every few months to see how she is progressing!
