Ok, so can I just share something SUPER gross? Well I'm going to anyway. . . I just gave DS a bath and was playing with his toys with him. He has a bunch of these plastic animals that are hollow and suck in water when you hold them under water and then you can squirt with them. So I squirted him with one and out came all this black fungussy water. IT WAS SO GROSS!!!! I guess I'll have to remind DH after the bath he needs to make sure all the squirt toys are empty - the thing is, I don't think it was that long ago that I gave DS a bath so that stuff must have formed pretty quickly. Learn from my family - squeeze those squirt toys out!

OH Grace, I remember the first time I found that out!! and I do grab all of their toys and wash them in the sink with bleach, squeeze, and dry! I felt horrible not knowing! We had a cute Ernie bath mat that I always made sure to lay over the side of the tub to dry the bottom, and every now and then wash it with bleach when I noticed those lil grimy black spots popping up...
THe things mom never told me!!

I'll also add, that you should not give bubble baths to younger children, as it can cause urinary track infections... I use the tub tints I find them at Target.

oh that's a great idea! We don't do bubble baths - we are a shaklee family so we use Basic H which is an all purpose concentrate that you water down depending on what it's used for. But I wonder if that's bad for him too -- I'll try those tints.
