The bathtub is a lovely place to let them warm up to you! I sit in the bath with my new girlies while I do my homework. First I lay down a towel, and then I shove some towels in next to me under my arms (for my own personal comfort, this isn't neccesary). The first time I did it, the girls ran around, squirming behind me and leaving little poos everywhere. In the end they thoroughly tuckered themselves out. Eventually they snuggled into a fold of one of the towels I had with me and started to snooze. So I tend to like the bathtub, but I haven't yet tried the t-shirt/sweatshirt method that SQ recommended (I've heard it works wonders). If you want you could even bring their favorite treat into the tub with you and periodically give little hand outs. That way they'll associate you with fun play time in the bath, snuggles, and above all FOOD. :wink2:
