This is how my kids spend most of the summer-
Sophie starts asking to turn on the hose before the snow is even melted. Both her and Silas stay entertained for hours if they are playing with the water. Caleb will sometimes join them but lately he is not as interested. He has been busy playing 'Jedi Training' with some of the neighbour kids. Maybe our little pool is just too little for him?
Last year, it was Sophie and Caleb fighting for the hose. This year it is Sophie and Silas. Sophie loves spraying herself. Perhaps because she is not allowed to spray her little brother? Silas doesn't mind getting his face wet but he likes it to be on his terms. He will put his head in the water at the pool or dump water on his head with a bucket but he does not like it when someone else sprays him. And he will let you know.
Silas just got a new swim diaper and I LOVE it!!! Isn't it the cutest thing ever?? Of course now Caleb wants swimming trunks with dragons on them too.
I love summer. I love how the water really tired them out and keeps them so busy. And I love how they play so nicely together. Mostly.
