Our Little Water Baby

Karis loves the water. She had a wonderful time in the ocean and the hotel swimming pool when we went to Mombasa and thoroughly enjoys her baths! She is also still learning about what should and should not go in the water!! The first things she does when she hears water running is to throw all the shampoo, soap, bath toys, and wash clothes in the vicinty of the tub into it! No problems there. On Monday she thought her Lucy the Talking Spider (quite a clever toy, I might add) also needed to go for a swim along with her peanut butter toast. I was able to rescue Lucy before she drowned but despite a brisk dry off and spending the morning on the clothesline she seems to have irreparable damage - she is no longer a talking spider! The toast was beyonod salvage but at least there were not too many crumbs in the bath! Tuesday her coloring paper went for a swim and yesterday while playing outside she decided to stand in a pot of water - leather shoes and sweatpants included! Unfortunately I do not have a picture of it but it was hilarious. The sweatpants are of course none the worse and I have not yet inspected the shoes - they were pretty much at the end of their lifetime anyway! Clearly regular trips to the swimming pool are in order when the hot season arrives.
