Rub A Dub Dub, Landon's In The Tub

Landon has always loved the water. Bath time is definitely one of the highlights in Landon's day, but a couple of weeks ago that all changed. We were doing a photo shoot of Landon out by the creek at our neighbors house, and Landon lost his footing. He fell back into the water for a split second, but Super Dad Paul came running to the rescue and pulled Landon out. It really didn't even seem to phase Landon until the next night during bathtime. He just screamed and cried, and did his best to climb out of the tub. We could not figure out what was going on with him, and then it hit us. He was afraid of the water. We bought new bath toys, tried bubbles, tried putting him in the tub without water, but nothing would soothe him at bath time. That is until Mom suited up and joined Landon for his bath time.
He loved it, and for the first time in a week he actually sat down in the tub.

After about three more nights of bathing with Landon, we decided to let him try it again on his own, and he did great. You would never know that he had that short amount of time where he was afraid of the water. He is back to his normal splashing funny self in the tub.
