We went to the park this morning and when we got there the water sprinkler was on. Brooke has recently been afraid of the sprinkler and fountains, so I wasnt too sure how she would react. She ran towards it screaming "water!" "water!" but then froze when she got close. As other kids ran in and out she just sat and stared.
After a pretty long time staring, she noticed an abandoned bucket on the ground. She decided she would try to fill it up with water ... but stood about 5 feet away with her arm out, hoping some would fall in. It didnt. Eventually, she decided she needed help and asked Mommy to go into the water for her and fill up the bucket. I did it for her a few times but eventually told her she was gonna have to do it herself. It took her a while to warm up to it, but before I knew it I had a soaking wet toddler on my hands ;)
