Xander Week 57 - Mr. Bubbles FTL
November 29, 2007
We’ve been giving Xander baths in the tub for a few months now. He likes it - more room to play, he loves to play with the running water, and I get much less water splashed on me. We usually try to squirt some sort of bubble substance into the water, makes it feel cleaner, and it’s easier to clean Xander. So last week while we were shopping, we picked up some Mr. Bubbles. Zach and I both remembered this brand from our childhood, and bubble baths always seemed pretty bubbly. Unfortunately, Mr. Bubbles doesn’t live up to his name anymore. The directions say to pour a few cap fulls of soap into the running water. A few caps full of Mr. Bubbles might get you a tiny fizz for a few minutes, but that’s about it. About 1/2 a cup of Mr. Bubbles will get you a reasonable amount of bubbles, but then you’re out of soap in about a week. So in terms of making bubbles for your baby in a bath tub, I would not recommend Mr. Bubbles. If anyone else out there has any other suggestions, please let me know - I’d love to try some other brands and do a comparison.
