A happy bath - finally (non plagio)

[Guest guest]

I just have to share this w/someone, seems how hubby's out of town,

sisters' are gone, mom's gone, dad's gone! Anyhow, Abby FINALLY had

a happy bath for the 1st time in about a month. I'm knockin on wood -

but I'm just SO relieved. She developed a very sudden,

unexplainable fear of the tub 1 mo ago (I've read this is quite

common at her age). Has been throwing terrible tantrums when I put

her in. I've tried everything to help. Finally tonite, she got in,

was upset like normal, until I gave her a soap crayon (I did try this

2 wks ago, didn't work then), I wrote all over the bath wall, then

she smiled, took it, and began scribbling all over the place (it

washes right off). Happy as a clam, so was mom! I pray this wasn't

a fluke & it continues. So she finally got a thorough scrub down,

and is no longer Michigan's dirtiest toddler. The 2 min quick in &

out baths just weren't doing the job!

Sorry SO long over something SO stupid, but it's just been horrible!

It was like we were casting her for a band in the tub or something!!!

Happy in Grand Rapids, MI
