My daughter loves the tub. I set it for 15 minutes during the week, but Friday & Saturday she can stay in as long as she likes. Here's another good bathtub tip: When she was younger I would measure out shampoo and conditioner into medicine cups before her bath. It wastes less and helped her feel like a big girl washing her hair without my help. Now I put it in pump bottles and that works great too.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4320752901175141822.post-88371865382858826862012-04-13T00:05:10.919-05:002012-04-13T00:05:10.919-05:00Thanks, Sue!

I would really miss ours :)<br /><br />Thank you for stopping by, Nil Zed! I would love a duckie timer that quacks! That's so neat! And I agree about it totally changing their willingness to cooperate :)<br /><br />And wow, Sarah! Using it for potty training is a GREAT idea! I love both of your ideas.<br /><br />Thanks, Mommy With Selective Memory!

We will say, okay, when the timer goes off, it's time for bed, or time to put on your shoes, or whatever it is that they don't want to do. I love your ideas for the games.

I also use it when I need her to transition from one activity to the next. It is much easier to transition if she hears "mommy's phone beeping" than if I tell her that it is time to do something.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06167859011287958565noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4320752901175141822.post-79065865470730001372012-03-26T16:04:03.217-05:002012-03-26T16:04:03.217-05:00Aaack!
