From bath fear to bath obsessed, the story of one boys battle with being clean.


We've come a long way since Opeie's bath escapades. It's strange to think that he did everything he could to avoid bath time and the mere mention of the word bath or the sound of the taps running used to cause a storm or teary emotions. Strange because at 10am this morning Opeie had already had 2 baths. Mrs M was the first for the bath time company very early this morning and then when Seth had one, Opeie again didn't want to miss out on the fun.


While in the bath the boys and myself from the sideline did our best to make the most of the Nuby bath toys we have after doing the usual teaching Opeie his letters and numbers Seth decided that it would be a good idea to attach the letters and see if we could make boats so we got to it. The boats were happily sailing but then Opeie brought in the evil captain squid and he tipped the boats over (the tinker). 


Luckily super elephant the hero/coast guard was in the area and came to our aid squirting that naughty squid in the face. Needless to say they all became friends at the end and lived peacefully in the bath water. I've got a feeling this isn't Opeie's last bath of the day and I'm sure he will be be keeping me company in there tonight.

That bath scene looks so familiar, Nuby toys floating around and letters all over the wall, love it.
I'd not thought about making something from the letters though, trust 'Seth the Super Builder' to come up with an awesome idea like that, you can tell him I'm borrowing that one! xx

I told Seth you were going to try it and he told me to advise you that the 'U' and the 'V' come in very handy for the front and back of the boat. hahaha. Also he would like to see pictures xx
