Marshall loves his baths. In fact, he loves anything to do with water. He delights in the running faucet as we brush his teeth, wash his hands, or fills his bath tub; he loves Sunday swim class.

Cheryl is staying with us this week and we went to Fred Meyer one evening to pick up some needed items. As we walked past the soap section she thought it would be a blast to get some bubble bath for Marshall seeing how he loves bath time. After weeding through Dora, Spiderman, Barbie, Barney, Blues Clues, Star Wars, and Scooby Doo packaging (same product, fancy bottles), I decided that Mr. Bubble was King because he didn’t smell like fruit. It seemed like every licensed character’s bottled bubble bath was blueberry or mixed berry scented. The only one that didn’t stink was Mr. Bubble. I remember using this stuff as a kid – if it was good enough for me, it was fine for my baby. When we came home Marc generated tons of bubbles with a few generous squirts of Mr. Bubble and a kitchen whisk. Showtime! He gently lowered Marshall into the tub. The photos below are his reaction to being lowered into something in which his extremities disappeared. 

Marshall was undecided about the bubble thing until Marc started blowing some of them into the air and by that time they were starting to go away. Besides, it was such fun to fling them against the wall with a whisk! Perhaps bubble baths aren’t so bad after all.
