Yes, this is the girl who does not want to go to swimming lessons because of "THE BOB." In the bathtub, there is no fear of her head being under water (as seen in this picture).

She had a bad dream quite a long time ago in which cousin Lily went down the drain at the bottom of a swimming pool. Daddy jumped in with his shoes on, but could not get Lily. This dream seems to be the source of many new "hole" fears - which includes most drains, manholes, toilets, and a hole in the wall where the radiator pipe comes in. She sites this as a reason she cannot go into the bathrooom alone.

I had a similar fear of holes when I was little! I thought my mother was going to fall into a manhole on the street and I wondered how on Earth we'd ever get her out. It's funny now, but it was a real fear, a horrible one at the time!! I was 4-5.
