Bathing in a Flash

If bath time could be modeled after an automatic car wash, my son Griffin would be the first child in line.  He has not been a fan of bathing since he was born.  Now that he is old enough to sit in the big tub, I thought he'd start enjoying splashing in the water and playing with toys.  For Griffin, bathing is just one of the routine tasks in his day.  Once in the tub, it's a battle to keep him sitting down.....for those who know Griffin, you know that standing has always been his favorite thing to do!  The other day, Griffin actually spent more time than usual in the water.  As a mom, I was so happy to see him taking a break to relax!  I am always talking to Griffin throughout the day to build his receptive language skills (comprehension).  He surprised me in this video from Friday's bath.  It shows that something as simple as bath time routine can be used as a language teaching opportunity.  There's really no need for fancy materials or training classes! Enjoy!
