My son-in-law — 2-year-old Capt. Adorable’s daddy — is an
artist and a high-school art teacher, which is why one of the Captain’s first words was, “Draw!” This also is why the Captain’s bathtub is an ever-changing gallery of 2-year-old-friendly art, thanks to crayons mades especially for bathtub scribbling. And as you can
see, when there’s an artist in the family, the bathtub art gets elevated beyond the average non-artist-person’s scribbling. My son-in-law is one of the most talented and creative people I know — I mean, how many kids can take a bath surrounded by Elmo and “Goodnight, Moon”? There is a downside to living with an artist, however, according to Older Daughter. “When we three do Play-doh,” she said, sighing, “I make a dog. You know, a dog. With four feet and ears and maybe a tail. Then my husband out-Play-dohs me and makes a perfect West Highland White Terrier with a name and everything.” But she’s one up on me since I can’t even make a dog. I’m very good with snakes, though. And, luckily, the Captain so far is happy with all skill levels.
Oh, I love this idea! I am so stealing it for my own kids’ bathroom!
How cute! I can’t believe how much older Capt. Adorable is now.
I’m all about snakes!
Whoa…he’s grown, and he’s so cute!
How cool to have an artist in the family. I bet the Capt. was concentrating on his art, and those curls are something else . . .
Capt. Adorable is 2, did I miss that post???
Maybe that’s why he’s a captain of this tub-boat.
Lucky lad, artists and writers in the family.
Have a great day,

Aw, thank you all for the kind words. Much appreciated!
I love it!
Our bathtub is also a canvas for spontaneous works of art. Love those washable tub markers!
