Big Boy in the Bath

Ben still fits in his little blue baby bathtub.  To get both boys bathed at once we've been setting Ben's little blue plastic tub in the bigger bathtub, and then Evan gets in the other half of the tub.  It's a bit crowded, but it's been working.  However, Ben now thinks he is too big for his little tub.  He has started to try to climb and roll his way out of the tub while Daddy is trying to bathe him.

So, he's given us no choice.  This week, we took away his baby bathtub.  He's been sitting in the big tub next to his brother.  While he's still a little precarious and tries to fall back in the water occasionally, he likes being a big boy.  We've gotten a new little bath toy that sticks to the side of the tub and creates a faucet by pulling water out of the tub.  Benny loves to sit, stare at the toy, and splash.  The only problem is that Evan loves the toy too, and we've had a few sibling squabbles over it.  Oh well, it just makes bath time more of an adventure.  Good thing Daddy is the primary baby bather, HA!

Here's a few shots of our two big boys having a little fun in the bath...
