She's Baaaaaaack!

After an overwhelming pool experience on Father's Day, Sarah got traumatized by water. She was not liking her baths anymore. The second we put her into the tub, she tries to climb out. For an entire week and a half, Sarah cried through her baths.  What happened to our water-loving baby that loves to splash, splash, and slash? We tried different things to reverse her fear... We let her sit inside the tub without water, let her play with her rubber ducky, and heck, we even let her watch an old video of herself playing in the water.  Nothing seemed to work... I missed her giggles and her laughs and seeing her splish splash in the water.

My sister so happen to be cleaning out her old baby stuff so she gave us some bath toys.  There were a couple of squirt toys. I am not a huge fan  of squirt toys because I read somewhere that they don't usually dry thoroughly so the toys have a high chance of mold and bacteria growing in them.  Yuck! But at this point, I was desperate.  The daily baths were becoming challenging especially when Sarah wouldn't sit down.  So we gave her the bath toys and they worked like magic. They got Sarah's attention and now, she is baaack!! Sarah is back to having fun in the tub.  She is beginning to enjoy her baths again.  Oh, I am soooo glad that her smiles and all her splashing are back!
