Wow, 5 comments, that’s 5 more than I was expecting and 4 more than I was hoping for. Thanks to everyone who made suggestions.
We keep our house a bit on the cool side, so we were resisting draining the bath because a wet baby is a cold baby (on the other hand, the older kids get the plug pulled on them as a motivation to get out of the tub).
I’m going to give this weeks award to Alicia from Daughter of Hope for her comment mostly because it had a song and what toddler doesn’t like a song. Feel free to put the image on your blog (leave a comment if you need help). You’re also immortalized in the new Instruction Manual page which if we play long enough might actually become a nice parenting instruction manual.
There will be an new question tommorrow. Thi$ $entance i$ the only clue you’re going to get about what the topic will be.

Yes, singing is key! I’m constantly making up little songs to sing to my kids. Almost any kind of transition can use a song. Its such a habit that I didn’t even remember it when I was thinking about getting kids out the tub when I commented. Later that day, when I was fishing two out of the tub, I realized that I had forgotten the most important part, the silly song!

We do all sorts of silly songs too – my hubby makes fun of me sometimes because I can sing about almost anything!
I’ll be on the lookout for your post tomorrow!
