A Practical Note

I wish I could say that my youngest child tends to be grubby because I can't handle the kneeling beside the bathtub necessary for washing him (bathing the Felix is much easier since he can sit up on his own and even make gestures towards washing himself). The truth is, I'm lazy.

The reason I can't claim physical discomfort is that my mother-in-law discovered this fabulous item made by the people who make those unattractive shoes (though they are actually charming on toddler feet). The kneeling pad is hardly a new invention, but the charm of this version is that it is soft and doesn't require inflating and is made of something that refuses to get smelly and covered with mildew-- an unfortunate risk of things used at bathtime. I am so sick of soaking bath toys in bleach solutions that it is nice to have something that is rather self-maintaining.

As always, I'm late to the party (I was using a bunched up towel for this purpose) so forgive me if you're all too aware of this item and I might as well be saying something like: "My goodness, there's this device called the light bulb that lets you read after dark!"
