Water Babies

I hate bath toys. All they do is get slimy and moldy and gross. Especially the ones that you can suck water into and then squeeze it out. After a while they start spraying little flakes of mold and it makes me sick. I recently threw away all our bath toys and bought a little container of fish that looked like they would not collect slime as easily and would be easy to clean. It wasn't quite enough though. The kids got bored with them easily.The other day we were at the dollar store and found a large pack of balloons. That night we filled a few of them up with water and drew faces on them. They call them water babies. Jake especially gets feisty if you takes his away. He screams "BABY." Sometimes we close the shower certain and they throw them at the walls and try to pop them. So far it's a hit.
And this is Lily rinsing her hair. She plugs her ears because she likes the sound the water makes on her head.

That's a great idea! I also hate them mold in the squirt toys. However, I've found that if I soak them in water and bleach every now and then in takes care of the problem. But I still hate that I have to do it. We'll have to try the balloon idea soon!

Lol! That is so cute that she plugs her ears. I hadn't seen that at the pool. Was the Dollar Store the "one and only?"
