Alphabet Soup

These boys are never bored at bath time. Over time we have amassed quite a collection of tub toys. There are all types of animals: ducks, frogs, alligators, fish and octopi. We have little motor boats, yachts, cruisers, and canoes of all sizes. There are two different sets of measuring cups, a set of funnels, and a brand new set of letters and numbers. Everything is brightly colored for maximum stimulation. On Saturday and Sunday mornings, the boys bathe right after a big breakfast of pancakes, waffles or French toast. Fueled by all that maple syrup, the water they churn keeps the bubble bath foaming. They sing, count, recite the alphabet, make motorboat noises, and practice colors until the water turns cold. Then they tell the water and bubbles “bye bye” when they leave.
