buescher blog: Another use for the baby bathtub

I realize its been a few weeks since I have blogged. We've been busy busy this summer and spend almost a week in two different Ohio locations. I'll hopefully get to processing my photos from our visit to Canton to celebrate my grandparents 60th wedding anniversary and our visit to Dayton spent with Geoffrey's grandparents.

In addition to the normal summer things I'm trying to work on better organizing our house and all the "stuff" that seems to accumulate. We are very lucky to have all the extra space we do in our house, but one of the downsides to this is that I tend to move things to unused rooms where it sits and sits, instead of making its way to the basement or its proper place. A fine example of this is Isabel's baby bathtub. We finally stopped using it a couple months ago, but instead of taking it to the basement to store with the other baby items I simply moved it to the guest room. Motivated by an overnight guest tomorrow, I decided it was time to get that room back into guest shape (my sewing stuff had also made its way in there but thats another story).

While getting the bed ready Isabel discovered the baby bathtub and squealed with delight. She immediately had to climb in...I guess she has fond memories of it. She must have sat in there for at least 15 minutes which was great since I was able to get the room back to about 95%. The only downside was when we left and shut the guest room door. Isabel was not happy, so she reached for the door knob, stretched up on her little tip toes and opened the door. I thought it was a fluke, so I shut the door again, double checking it was indeed closed. Nope, not a fluke, within 3 seconds she had it opened. Oi. We'll be heading to BRU after naptime to get some additional door knob covers.

Anyways, I brought the tub downstairs and put it into the playroom and will take it to the basement during naptime. Once again, she climbed in and I was able to snap a few photos. Enjoy.
