Water-girl

Alice is totally water obsessed. Much of this surfaced at PEI, where she would not come out of the water. Trips to Post Pond and the water park at Granby Zoo were more of the same. She's in the water every chance she can get, and will stay in until we have to pull her out shivering. fortunately, she has gained some respect for the water. After walking up to her neck, stumbling, dunking her head and taking a few mouthfuls of water at Post Pond, she seems to have got the hang of holding her breath and getting her feet under her before opening her mouth again. She learns! Bathtime and outside playtime are similar. The water table outside has been a favorite toy all summer (unfortunately she is always wet from dumping water down her front). She loves dumping water back and forth from bowl to cup and then drinking it! Eliminating sippee cups was very easy, because she essentially taught herself to drink from a cup during her play and bath sessions.
