Need advice about water

Unfortunately he was also born with thumbs and a keen cunning.... despite being strictly NOT ALLOWED into the bathroom or kitchen with supervision, he is often found in either of those rooms, with the taps running, water all over the floor, and his 'fur' sopping. When the weather is warm enough, his favourite thing to do is go outside, play with the hose and pour water from one container to another. Unfortunately, we're still under water restrictions and technically running the hose like that is against the law, so we don't let him do it very often. I can only pray that yours - like mine - eventually grow out of it. Yowie Yowie, Rosco makes me think of a Yowlet aged boy with a yellow rain slicker, yellow hat and boots stomping in a rain puddle. It sounds like that as well...slosh, slosh, slosh. Hopefully both of our boys will soon outgrow this love of splashing water. There is an almost perpetual puddle in our neighbour's driveway. I call it "The Puddle In Need of a Boy". Cary *always* makes sure he walks through it whenever he's outside, even if it is going outside just to get into the car. We eventually invested in expensive leather boots for winter and plastic sandels in summer rather than the regular kiddie footwear. I know there's nothing worse than having to spend all day in soggy socks, and since there was no way I could keep him out of The Puddle in Need of a Boy (or indeed any other puddle, small creek or water source), it just seemed obvious he needed either puddle-proof shoes or shoes that allowed his feet to dry out quickly. I didn't have grey hair till I had kids..... Yowie I bet Cary love bath time. :-) Not a chance. Baths are *evil*. Baths remove all the evidence of his hard work, and besides, baths involve the spawn of Satan, Evil Incaranate itself - Shampoo. The Yowlet has hated baths since he was born. He gets one only when he needs to be presentable, otherwise I just wipe the wriggling creature down with wet-wipes. Bathing a cat is easier, trust me on this one But he loves swimming - go figure Yowie -- If you're paddling upstream in a canoe and a wheel falls off, how many pancakes can you fit in a doghouse? None, icecream doesn't have bones. |
