When your brother is in charge of your bath.
Resources
- Baby bath
- Warm water
- Bath toys
- Tuff tray (not essential, but helpful to catch water)
Method
Finn brought all the bath toys, so we could hardly fit Cian in.
Fin was taking it personally when Cici knocked the letters out of order. So Finn added his name, in the hope that Cian would show his letters some more respect.
