The Scrubby Piggies

marydellSo I got Charlie a cute tub toy a while ago - two floating piggies that have mud spots on them. The mud spots "wash off" with water.
There are two problems with what we originally called the "Scrubby Piggies." One is that the mud only washes off if you use HHHOT! water, of a temp that you would never use near a baby.
The other problem is that they, like his other tub toys, prefer to float in a particular orientation. Unlike his other tub toys, this orientation is face down.
So we have re-dubbed them the "Drowny Piggies."

He's too young to get the concept of washing them yet, but it's a pretty bad design anyway. I figure he can at least learn the concept of drowning from them...
