Bath time is definitely Jonah's favorite indoor activity. He has been perfectly content to splish splash around in the water solo, but recently we decided to introduce a few friends. This Heava Rubber Duck was acquired because I felt silly singing "Rubber Ducky" without being able to show Jonah the song's protagonist. So it is more a prop for me than for Jonah right now. This particular rubber ducky lacks garishly painted eyes because it is made from natural rubber latex. It has no PVC, BpA, Phthalates nor artificial colors.
This is the look I often see after Jonah has crawled into the bathroom.
Hmmm, do you think it might be time for my bath yet?
Goody! The answer was "yes"! Let the bath preparations begin.....
Ready!
Getting very excited! I love his look of anticipation.
Jonah spends most of his time in the bath with his mouth agape. Water is both amazing and mysterious. Because he still uses his mouth to "know" something, it makes water unlike everything else in his world. Its transparency, texture, taste, and viscosity fascinate him every time. It is delightful to see such pure joy and discovery.
After he has thoroughly enjoyed the simple pleasure of water, I introduce his bath friends.
These colorful Boon bath toys are great because they don't absorb water so I don't have to worry about mildew. You can also stick them to the sides of the tub or shower or float them in the water.
They are also BpA-free, Phthalate-free and PVC-free. 10 toys in a set. Somewhere along the way we lost the shark, so he missed the group photo. I'll probably find him tomorrow. To know more about this great Boon product you can click here.
We strive to keep Jonah's toy input to a minimum, so this is all that we are using.....and a few re-purposed Tupperware food containers. Simple joys. I'll let you know when we introduce bubbles.
