Bathtime Fun!

Bathtime is by far my hardest time of day, having twins. I have a few options, including keeping one in the playpen while I bathe the other. They hate that--they want to be closer than that. And Avery hates being cooped up. They're not stable enough that I can put two in the tub at once. It's too difficult to keep them contained. I'm afraid they'll slip and need stitches. But not to fear, other moms of multiples! There is a solution!



It worked shockingly well! I filled the tub with water, and then put a laundry basket in the middle of it. It keeps the girls upright, and they're happy to be in there together (as you can see). It keeps their toys close at hand. They are more likely to slide around because I can't hold them still, but there's no room for them slip under the water. And they can't hit their pretty little heads on the porcelain either.
The only trick is to get them out and dry them off at the same time. Otherwise I find I can't devote enough attention to the one waiting in the tub.
