When Mark & I were first discussing potential birthday presents for Allison we checked current Playmobil offerings online. We noticed a new 'Noah's Ark' set in the Playmobil 1,2,3 style but we became distracted with other ideas and the idea was put on the back burner. Then we visited our local toy shop just before Allison's birthday and saw it in stock in the store. I went back later and in looking at it a bit closer realized it was designed to be used in water. I decided right then & there it was going to be one of Allison's birthday presents.
Both Mark & I have decided it was a very good move. Our little Alli-girl, for all her normal sweetness, has been anything but sweet about bath time for a few months now. We have no idea why as it seems most toddlers like bath time. However, ever since we demonstrated how her new Noah's Ark could go in the tub the girl has loved bath time. What a relief! Now she has a little ritual after bath time where she pulls each animal out and dries them off with a towel and then packs them all away. And we sing endless renditions of 'Row, Row, Row Your Boat' while she is in the tub rocking the ark around. Someday I'm sure she'll learn the actual 'Noah's Ark' story, for now we're just thankful bath time has become a pleasure again!
