Hydromaniac in helmet


She's got the look! Who can beat a bike helmet and an off-the-shoulder misfitting Indian dressup?!? Actually, this is a repeat look. One I often watch in the backyard. The most repeated part of the look - the waterbottle. My kids are obsessed with the $.99 waterbottles. Using them for everything from "waterart" on the patio to hydrating, and all in between, it is often the first thing hunted down in the shed and filled at the hose bib on the side of the house. But, hey, easy way to get liquids in them. And, that counts for alot with Tyler's lack of interest in eating or drinking anything the past two weeks. Sometimes I intentionally sent him out with Paige with the directions to "get a bottle for him," knowing that some of the water would enter his mouth.


Paige has altered the look of her spray bottle. It has lost it's "spray" due to the lack of handle, which most likely got chewed off or broken off on one of the many times it got chucked to the ground. But, she likes the changed top. Easy to spray in the air. Easy to spray a large puddle into ones mouth for gargling.


I know I've written of our backyard bubbles/gargling tendencies. But, this girl is the champ of gargling. Her skill comes in one volume. Loud. In one speed. Fast. In one attitude. Focused. So focused that she didn't see her fellow Indian choosing to use her $.99 bottle as a war weapon.


Oh the joy!
