PSA: Bath Toys

This guy looks pretty innocent, eh?



Isaac has several rubber squirt bath toys that he loves. We are always careful to squeeze all the water out of them at the end of the bath and occasionally throw them into the dishwasher to get them really clean. During Isaac`s bath a few nights ago, we noticed some weird black specs floating in the water. Josh noticed that one was attached to the squirt hole of the starfish. We wondered if maybe it was something inside of him, so we did a little tub-toy-dissection. YUCK! Look what we found inside!

Jane literally gagged. We just wanted to remind everyone that emptying and washing these suckers isn`t enough - replace them regularly (or just play with something else altogether)!

SO gross. We just discovered the same thing this week and were wondering what to do - hate to be wasteful and just throw them away but the thought of William sucking on that nastiness is too much!!

We gave up on these ones when we discovered the same thing. Ick!

Lindsay also literally gagged. Note to self...maybe its time to wash the dog's toys....
