Bathtime for the twins has always been a struggle for us. Not only is there the logistical issue of two babies the other problem is that they just don't like it - particularly Spencer. There was a bath incident once where he went under - nothing major but bathtimes didn't improve after it. So we had tried everything - bathing alone in the bath, the baby bath, bathing together, bathing with a parent, baths in the laundry trough, showers - together, alone and with a parent. None of which has been easy or enjoyable for anyone - until now!
In the summer we used these tubs for pools and the kids sat on the deck playing in the cool water and then we tipped it on the vegie patch - really easy recycling. Having their regular baths in these for some reason didn't occur to us, but putting them in these with a fistful of toys seems to have solved the problem. No more tantrums with B or S screaming in your ear and desparately clambouring up your body to get out of the water. Now the only issue was getting them out- a lovely and welcome change.
