I wanted to share how we organize the baby's bath to maximize fun and minimize accidents and mess.
So the first thing that everyone who has a child knows about is that their reach seems endless, especially the more they grow.
In our bathroom, the showers had shelves built in, but if you don't have this you can do one of two things:
1. Invest in shower organizers. You can do this in several different way. You can buy these organizers that attach to the shower head to hold all of your little one's products out of arms' reach. You can also get each family member a tote. Write your loved ones' names on a 3"x 3" piece of construction paper. Take some laminating paper, or even more accessible, some clear packing tape, and "laminate" the construction paper. Use a hole punch and punch one of the corners. Use a thin 6" piece of ribbon, and tie the name tag to the tote. Store under the sink or on a shelf so that the name tags are facing outwards. This way, each family member can grab their own tote when it is shower time. This eliminates the toddlers getting into the razors and Nair and shaving cream, or whatever you have in your shower normally, and prevents your shower being packed with a thousand different products, hence leading to that shampoo bottle on your foot.
2. Go to the store and buy another tension shower curtain rod. This only works if you have a shower with square corners, not rounded corners. Put your tension rod along the back wall. Hang shower organizers with each person's name on them. You can use permanent marker for this, and it will last through the water in the shower. This is only goo if your shower is a little wider otherwise you will be knocking your shoulders against the bins. This is a good idea if you have children though, because even when they start taking showers, they will still be lower than the totes, meaning you can just bring their toiletries down for them and then to clean up, just put the items back in the tote.
For us, we have shelves in our bathroom, so this is how we organize Ella's bathtub.
First, we have everything on the highest shelves we can put them on. We have the main shampoos/ bubble-bath mixed on one shelf.
Next, we got this adorable little luffa for the baby. She loves it! She loves washing herself with it, and it does double duty as a toy and a washing tool.
Next, we have a cup for rinsing her off and we have a large bucket of toys right next to the tub. This lets her play for a little bit before we wash up, and gives us a waterproof place to put her toys in.
Having everything in it's place is the perfect way to feel great about your space and your home.
I hope these suggestions helped you a little, let me know if you try anything.
Leave any suggestion you'd like.
Warm wishes.
