Ruthie's latest phase has overcome her with a sudden hate/fear/unwillingness to go happily into any water. This includes baths. Sigh. The once happy half hour of play I used to get out of a bath seems long gone. This also includes swimming pools. Which inconveniently means swimming lessons for the last 2 and next 4 weeks. Sigh. She screams, she cries. I force her anyway. We struggle. Mike tries, struggles slightly less? maybe? regardless, not fair.
My experience with her little personality has me led to believe that most of her phases last a week or so. We've exceeded that. So now what? I've tried new bath toys, over the top fake excitement, threats, bribes, etc. Will take suggestions!
