...even though we have a properly-functioning, super comfortable, BEAUTIFUL bathtub in our flat, we still SOMETIMES find ourselves having "tubby" in the living room.
Mmmmm hmmmm.
You read that right.
THE LIVING ROOM!!!
Despite the inconvenience of setting it up, the likelihood of drenching the carpet, and the 100% chance that SOMEBODY in the house will slip and fall in an un-detected puddle of water.....living room tubbys STILL (happily!) take place in our home.
Here's why:
1) If one child wants to have a tubby, and the other child does not want to have a tubby, and both children are passionate about their desires AND there's only one parent at home to manage the children.......a living room tubby is the perfect solution. One child has a tubby, while the other does playdoh. It's genius, really.
2) With living room tubbys, the supervising parent isn't isolated in the bathroom. This might not be a big deal to most people, but when your child IS A MERMAID, you'd get where I'm coming from. Being the supervising parent of a mermaid means you may never EVER EVERRRRRR escape the bathroom. Which is why we sought out alternative bathing experiences for our little ones. Enter........THE LIVING ROOM TUBBY!!!!!!!
3) Bathroom tubbys are the norm. Living room tubbys are TUBBY 2.0!!! And TUBBY 2.0 is always a crowd-pleaser when an activity change is necessary for the survival of all persons (and cats!) inside the house. #reallyfuntransitionforthewin
4) Lastly, living room tubbys mean THE WHOLE FAMILY is invited to hang out, relax or play. Literally, THE WHOLE FAMILY!
So, friends. Even though we paid a good chunk of money for a REAL bathtub. And even though it meant removing the door off the bathroom so that the bathtub would fit inside the bathroom. And even though normal people have their baths inside the bathtub in the bathroom. Our family still - for as long as our children fit in large, plastic tubs - believes in the miraculous discovery of:
Mmmmm hmmmm.
