Lets grab, throw and attack with things

Welcome to the Good Ship Bathtime with your Captain, Captain Callum. Bath time with a baby can be a lot of fun. There's the continual splashing of water so that there's more outside the bath than in, there's ice cream containers that can be a substitute for a captain's hat, and there are a multitude of toys which make their way from the rumpus room play sets to become bathroom play sets. With three kids, over the years this has grown into quite a collection

Callum likes to have baths, which is great. He isn't one to kick and scream when you try to drop him in, which happened to Ethan for a while. He also doesn't mind getting his hair wet. He has a little fishing net, which he uses to catch fish (What else do you think he'd do with it?) Ok, ok, yes they're toy fish. As much as I wanted to have real fish in our bath, they have to stay outside in the pond.

The thing is, that after a few minutes of nice play, Callum's idea of fun can get quite rough. It begins with gradually throwing all of the toys outside of the bath. It completes when after you've taken him out of the bath, and you're trying to get him to get his nappy on. At that time, on this particular evening, he managed to pick up a pencil which had been left lying around and miraculously attacked me with it, with the pointed led end being rammed up my left nostril. I could have posted pictures of the resultant bloody mess, but instead deemed that if I put up cute pictures of Callum I could continue to hide the mutinous little monster that he can be! He should be scrubbing the poop deck!!
