Heather was gone to take Nathan to hockey. The big people were watching a movie, and Elena was playing with Quinlan and Critter, so I was left with the two girls.
( She's quite happy to have a beard :P )
Ava wanted a bubble bath, and, figuring it would keep her mind off of her mother, I gave her one.
She had four toys. That ninja turtle, the Barbie, and two boats.
She dunked the Barbie and ninja turtle under the bubbles, swooshed them around a bit, and then brought them back up.
She squealed because they had soap on them. So I showed her the -much ignored- boats. I showed her that you can fill 'em up with water, and then dump it onto the Barbie and Ninja.
Viola!
It washes off! I invented a new game! I'm a genius!
"Ava, are you dumping water on their heads?" I asked.
"Yess." She said, not even looking up from her task.
"What about you? Can you dump water on your head?"
"No." She said, quite firmly, too.
"Why not?" I asked, wanting to know what she'd say.
"'Cause."
And that was it. She dropped the subject. I got her hair wet by brushing it, though.
But she wasn't done her food.
She didn't smile, though.
I have a picture of us three wearing 'beards'. But, Daniel doesn't want me to upload anymore pictures. >:l
Even though Emma and I weren't in the bath, we had fun!
That's so fun! Trying to *trick* a little one into getting their head wet is *tricky* ;)
ReplyDeleteYou got pictures!!
ReplyDeleteThat second one of Ava is really good.
Thank-you for keeping her happy.
Yay for bubble baths! :D
ReplyDeleteI know! I love the second picture too! Jay thought it was ugly, but her eyes look so green.
