Rubber Ducky :: You're the One

Bubbles, Bible stories and [the original] Rubber Duck; the only three necessities to innovative bath time merriment. "Attention, Toys R Us shoppers!" I've made a favorable discovery on that dynamic parental front. There is no need to purchase a tub load of bath toys for the first three years of your child's life, especially if you cherish kid-free evenings together as a couple (i.e. The more toys, the longer bath time will typically last.) More importantly, the fewer toys there are to entertain him/her, the more 'imaginative play' is encouraged, in return, cultivating self-expression and language development. Imagine that!?!? With that being said, I've outlined Kinsey's interpretation of story time at school in three, very particular steps via my intuitive (or is it motherly) observations...

Step 1 Announce to your bath time friends "Story time, please! Story time!" repeatedly while lining up Rubber Ducky and his cohorts along the edge of the bath tub. Note: Make sure each one is facing you, the story teller.
Step 2 Pretend that the [green] Eskimo Joe's cup (used to wash her hair and hold the bath toys) is actually a story book. Then, begin each story with "God... (insert incomprehensible toddler vocabulary here)."
Step 3 Follow up each story by glancing up from your "book" to single-out each animal and whisper "Shh, quiet please." It is now, and only now, that you may continue with your next Bible story "God..."

Love it! You should be proud that she hears so many stories about God, that it is the one word she associates stories with!
