And no, for once I'm not being sarcastic
We have a problem a couple of times a week where DS just screams when we put him in the bath - usually if he hasn't had a second nap, and he is getting really overtired, and its close to bedtime. My god, he can scream the house down. Well the other week, I took his nappy off, plonked him in the water, the screaming started. I had to give him a bath cos he was sooo dirty, and needed his hair washed, and didn't know what the hell I was going to do because all he wanted to do was scream, stand up and try to climb out of the bath.
So then DH came down the hall, turned off the bathroom light (at this time I was like.. WTH are you doing man??) and then turned on the TORCH. He had retrieved one of the torches from the kitchen for some reason, and was shining it around the bathroom.
Well... surprise surprise... DS shut up. Completely. Even started laughing and going "Woooowwwww"
So now.. everytime he has a screaming fit in the bath.. this is what we do.... its amazing.
Just thought if I could help one other parent out there from pulling their hair out at bathtime, this was worth mentioning.
