The horror!

Does this look scary to you? Apparently it conjures up all kinds of scary in a 10 month old.

We have been giving Archer baths in the kitchen, in a plastic infant tub. He loves his baths, loves splashing around and playing in the water. But he's getting big and we wanted to transition him to taking baths in a real bathtub soon. So we got this great inflatable ducky bathtub that sits in your regular bathtub. It's small-ish, portable, has a sucker thing on the bottom to stabilize it to the floor of your bath. It even makes a duck sound when you squeeze its beak!

The first night we tried the new tub out. Archer was reluctant, but sat in the tub and played in the water a bit. We thought we were on our way to big boy baths soon!

Second night was a different story. Archer was terrified of the bath! Crying, he refused to sit in it. I gave him a "bath" while he was standing up in the ducky tub, screaming his head off.

Third night, same thing. Another standing/screaming "bath".

Soooo, I think we'll try it out one more night. And if he doesn't like the ducky bath, I guess it's back to the infant tub for him!
