Three's Company...

As many of you know, Anna loves her bath time. It has been a highlight of her day since she was first born. She even enjoyed her first sponge bath. She has always been enamored by running water and the fact that she can actually sit in a pool of water is a treat each and every night. For a long time Anna would bath alone. But for a while now Tommy the turtle has been joining her for her bath each night. She looks for him when she is placed in the water. Rarely does he leave her sight or hands for that matter during the entire bath time. However, Daphne is not so lucky. She is an over sized duck, whom Anna loves too but only from a distance. Daphne also inhabits the bathroom but rarely finds her way to the water. Instead she only sits on the edge of the tub and watches as Anna and Tommy splash around. You see, Daphne sometimes gets invited to take a dip but as soon as Daphne submerges herself in the water, Anna realizes Daphne is a little too big for the tub and three's company. Without fail when Daphne joins Anna in the bathtub our little one gets upset. She often asks for Daphne and tries to have a happy heart when Daphne joins her in the water but Anna just feels a little too crowded. Daphne, maybe when Anna starts taking her baths in the big girl tub you might be asked to join and will be able to stay for the entire bath. Don't loose hope, soon you might be in the water instead of on the ledge looking in.
