Warm bath lotion in the bathwater

In: Poop + Pee + Bath

Marykz's daughter's getting the luxury treatment!

My daughter doesn't like to get out of the warm bath and have to have cold lotion spread on her dry skin.  So, I put the (closed) bottle of lotion in the warm bath water for the last few minutes of bathtime to warm up the lotion.  We have a plethora of containers in the bath as toys for pouring water, so I just filled one, let it drift in the bath and left the bottle in it.  Voila!  Warmer lotion, happier girl.

We also use the time-tested hack of warming up the towels in the dryer for that spa-like experience....
