Sudsy Sponges
While in cooler weather I don’t find it necessary to do daily baths (perhaps to a fault, according to my mom), the sticky days of summer require increased bath frequency, both to clean and cool off little, busy bodies.
These days the ever-independent Laurel really likes scrubbing herself, and she’s been having a lot of fun with the sudsy sponges by Circle of Friends. Available in banana

I do think these are VERY cute, but having just had a terrible time with my daughter (age 4) and a UTI that had to be treated at Tuft's Floating Children's Hospital in Boston I just want to let you know that I am weary of lots of bubbles and little girls on a daily basis. Our wonderful doctor in Boston urged us to not have bubble baths at all and not frequently as you suggest...just passing along my story as I don't want any other child to go through what my daughter did :)
Perhaps these sponges will be great during a shower!

Editor's Note: Thanks for this thoughtful comment, and sorry to hear about your daughter's persistent UTI! Just to clarify, these sponges aren't bubble bath; they're just soap infused sponges that release suds when squeezed (until the soap runs out). So it's not too excessive on output -- we've just been impressed by how much soap is infused, resulting in a long lasting product.
We also find that some days it's sufficient to do a sink sponge off instead of a full bath for Laurel -- we like that option because it saves time and water. :-)
