For my son it tends to boost his creativity from putting a hollow pink cylinder in his mouth and looking like a pig, to pretending to read his water book.
Jonathan's latest bath time super fun activity is to fill whatever is in the tub with water and dump it over the edge. That means we now have a towel along the floor at the edge of the tub that is usually soaked by the time we are done.
We then like to let go and drop the toy so we can bend over and get it. Why this is fun, I truly have no idea. It seems like it would hurt to stretch that far over the side of the tub!
There have been two times though that scared the bejesus out of me when he reached so far over the tub, that he fell out onto his head and/or neck and started crying. I was sitting right there and it happened too fast for me to catch him. Admittedly, he only really fell a couple of inches, but still!! So I grabbed him and ,the two of us now soaked, walked around with him until he calmed down enough to get ready for bed.
Most of the time it is a fun time for us to experiment with different sounds and swim around, splashing water onto the sides of the tub.
However, tonight was a night that all parents dread. Jonathan started to get a little fussy, so I started to reach into the bubble laden water to retrieve his toys and open the valve to release the water. I reached my hand through the thick bubbles, and grabbed dookie. That's right POOP!!! I was pretty grossed out and yelled for Chris to help me.

This has happened a couple of times, but I have NEVER grabbed it!! Chris came in and got Jonathan out of the water and rinsed him off really well. I took all of his toys and put them in the kitchen sink with some bleach and then put them in the dishwasher with the sanitize cycle on. The best part of all this was the little turd laughing while I am yucking out!!!
Welcome to parenthood......
