Still on the subject of baths

The next person who tries to tell me kids need playstations, Nintendo DS, etc, can take a running jump. The only reason they NEED them is because they feel they do because the other kids have them. My youngest bought a small, 15p rubber shark at a charity shop recently, and she's had more fun out of that than any electronic device could ever provide. That rubber shark has given her lots of fun, and IMAGINATIVE fun. The other night, she described to me how the shark had rooms in the bubbles of the bath, a kitchen (to show me, she 'swam' the shark there), a bathroom, bedroom, lounge, and, of course, loo! It's lovely to see a child's imagination working, and to remember the games I played as a child too. I'm making the most of these times, before she grows up. Whatever there is to do in the house, or to worry about, put it all on hold, it can wait, and spend time with your kids.
