Bath time can be fun AND educational

So, everytime we have to stay somewhere different overnight, Jackson will scream and cry bloody murder at bathtime, because he usually slips and falls if there's no mat on the floor. And then he's traumatized for awhile. The first night in this bathtub, Trapper got in the tub with Jackson thinking that might help, but Jackson just cried and cried. So, when we went to Walmart, we picked up a bathmat and some big foam letters that will stick on the wall when they're wet. Turns out, the bathmat wouldn't stick, but the foam letters have made bathtime exciting! Now, he doesn't want to get out of the tub! It's 10 o'clock in the morning right now and about 10 minutes ago, he came up to me saying "Ba..." and rubbing his fists on his chest, which is the sign for "bath." So, I put him in the tub with his clothes on (no water, of course) and wet the letters in the sink, and he's still in there having a great time. I'm glad he likes doing this! Maybe he'll even start learning his abc's from this!
