Bath Painting

This morning Seth got a little bored.  This is a bad thing for me.  When Seth gets bored he throws tantrum after unreasonable tantrum.  So once I got him calmed down I offered to give him a bath.

Me: Seth do you want to take a bath?
Seth: No
Me: Are you sure?  You could play in the water with toys...
Seth: Fun?
Me: Yes it will be lots of fun, we could even paint.
Seth:  Paint?
Me: Yeah, do you want to get in the bath?
Seth: yeah!

So he got in the bathtub and I took out the bath paint that he got for Christmas.  Just the blue pot.  I'm saving the red and yellow for another day.  I wrote his name on the wall to show him how it worked.

He's definitely his father's child.  He would dip his fingers in the paint, rub them on the wall, then wash them off in the water.  As he washed he would say "Oooosh, ooosh!" and smile at me.  He soon discovered that as he "oooshed" his hands he created bubbles.  So he took the pot of paint from my hands and dumped it all into the water to make more bubbles.  When the water got too cold for him to be in it anymore, I pulled the plug and he threw a HUGE tantrum.  He didn't want to leave his bubbles.  I fought him into his clothes and hugged him and told him we couldn't paint in the tub anymore if he acted like that.  So he calmed down, and went down for his nap just as happy as ever.
