Where's Layton?

About 90% of the time the answer to that question is, "in the bathroom." As mentioned before, taking a bath is one of Layton's favorite things to do. Another of his favorite things to do is crawl into to the bathroom and pull up on the edge of the tub. There are two problems with this little pastime:

1. He gets angry when he realizes that pulling up on the edge of the tub is not enough to get him INTO the tub.

2. After realizing that he can't get INTO the tub, he gets angry again because he hasn't yet figured out how to get himself from a standing position back to where he can crawl and go forward with his exploring expedition.

So whenever I hear a little Layton angry cry and he is not immediately visible in the living room, I know to go directly to the bathroom because almost invariably that is where he will be, standing on the edge of the tub, banging out his frustrations on the acrylic veneer. But even after all the angry cries, he almost always greets me with a smile. And even though this may be the 15th time today that I have had to rescue him from the edge of the tub, when I see a cute little smile like that, I can't help but smile right back and scoop him up to give him some kisses.
