Bath time has been a really fun time for P and J. Part of our bedtime routine is her daddy bath - nothing creepy, just J is in charge of that part of the evening. It has been great. She plays, splashes, and even has been pulling the plug on the drain when the bath ends.
Enter this past Monday (also the day I signed P up for "swim lessons").
P is suddenly FREAKED out by the bath tub! She is basically trying to climb out. I tried to give her a bath but she reacted the same way. We are not sure what to do. We tried less water. More toys for distraction. I am going to try getting in with her tonight. We are at a loss after that. I know that a nightly bath is not absolutely necessary but she is so dirty from crawling all over she really needs it.
Any help out there?
We had the exact same thing with both kids. I will tell you that they will outgrow it. Keep exposing P to water and don't let her get out if she gets upset. Just keep trying and one day it will hit. Also try buying a small pool for the backyard that she can splash around with. This might help too. Good luck!!
