Grandma and Pops brought some of my old bath toys up to Seattle from storage in Monterey on their last trip down, and they were an immediate hit. Aunt Liz was visiting one evening at bath time and was playing a new game with Charlotte- mermaid in distress. The game consisted of Liz throwing the mermaid over the side of the tub, begging for rescue, climbing up the tub wall, and jumping happily back into the water, with Charlotte laughing all the while. The next night in the tub, Charlotte picked up the mermaid, threw her over the edge, grabbed her by the hair and lifted her up the tub wall, plopped her back in the water, and squealed with delight. We're not quite sure exactly what lesson this game is teaching, but the mermaid is now very busy at bath time.
