Day 287: Bath Sparkles

Belinda decided to mix Henry's bath time up tonight by putting these big sparkly glitter things in there with him to help keep him entertained. He had a great time trying to catch them in the water and when he did manage to get one caught under his finger he'd slide it up the side of the bath and line them up on the edge. This is a little game my mum introduced us to when Jenna was much littler and it's worked a treat with Henry too. However tonight Henry decided he needed to take these shiny objects with him after the bath and this is how I found them after he'd gone to bed, they were roughly lined up on the couch where he'd had his milk and read some stories with us. I'm not sure if they were intentionally lined up or if they just happened to fall that way, it's probably the former more than the latter... he does like to line things up.

Day 67: Towel Toddling

Tonight, between Henry's bath and the time it took us to pin him down for his nappy, he thought running around the lounge with his bath towel over his head was the funniest thing ever. I thought it was pretty funny too, so I snapped a few quick photos most of which I couldn't use because he was just a little 'too' naked. I was very impressed that he managed not to fall over or run into anything, in fact the only time he got upset was when the towel fell and he couldn't quite get the towel cover his head to the desired degree.

It did take us a while to coax him into putting a nappy on, he was having so much fun we didn't really push it that much... but there's only so long you can leave it before the risk of leakage on the carpet becomes very real. It's happened before... and Henry thought that was pretty funny too.

Day 62: Happy Little Sucker

Henry's bath time usually involves dodging cups of water being flung at you and a lot of splashing. Tonight I thought I'd try to hide one of his cups by sticking it to his back. It took him a while to notice.

This turned into a bit of a game that Henry changed when he decided he wanted the cup stuck to his tummy instead of his back where he couldn't reach it. The only problem with sticking it to his tummy was that he'd get the giggles and then flail about until he knocked the cup from its precarious suction induced perch.

I'm still not 100% sure that Henry enjoyed this game as much as I did...
