Order! Order!

I think I've discovered the origin of the cliche about getting all your ducks in a row. It was inspired by a toddler at bath time.

Sydney loves her rubber duckies. She would play with them in the bathtub for hours if we let her. We've also used them as a distraction to keep her on the toilet longer while potty training. Her little duck friends are the most fun!

Just so long as they're all in a nice line on the edge of the tub.

It is an obsession with her. The first thing she does when we put her in the tub is search around amongst all the various tub toys floating in the water. If any of the ducks are out of place, she lunges to grab and place them where they should be. If one gets knocked in the water, "Uh oh!" She then either puts it back where it belongs or hands it to me to place it on the ledge.

"Rubber duckie, you're the one..."
