Water Play Fun!

Like most kids, these two LOVE water! Conner can hear the bath water start from the other side of the house and then he is off as fast as he can crawl, and that is pretty fast. There is no stopping him from getting in the water once he knows that it is there.

After bath, Kaylee was still in the tub and Conner was on his way back.

They love taking their baths together and we love only have to do bathtime once a night!

The kids were all ready to play in the pool, but out of nowhere it started to rain so they got to play in the rain instead.

Last year Kaylee hated getting her hair or face wet. This year she thought it was so funny when she got her hair wet and wasn't afraid of the sprinkler either. Conner just wanted to crawl in and out of the water or drink it. We actually made it to the local splash park quite a few times this year. Last year Kaylee wasn't too excited about it because the water just squirts up so randomly. But, this year she couldn't get enough. She won't go through the rings (on the left) yet, but maybe next year. Conner had fun just sitting by the water and trying to catch it when it squirted up.

Kaylee with her friends Sophia and Max at the splash park. Our good friends, Don and Rosemary, have a pool in the neighborhood and Rosemary invited us to go swimming a couple times this summer. It was neat to watch Kaylee get braver and braver each time we went. By the last time that we went swimming she would jump to us from the side of the pool without holding on to our hands when she jumped. That was a BIG step for her! Next year we are going to get her in swim lessons and hopefully she will learn how to put her face in the water. It will be better to have someone else, besides me, to teach her how.
