Watering the Flowers

It's getting hot, summer is upon us. So it shouldn't have come to my surprise the result of letting my Brown Eyed Girl water the flowers for me while I started dinner. 

She truly has become more skilled in handling the hose.


She is very conscientious. She instantly realized that Boji's bowl was empty and took the initiative to full up his bowl with fresh, cool water. 

She is becoming so responsible. 


All intentions are well intended until there are two...


I give our Brown Eyed Girl and "A" for effort. She did attempt to just water the flowers.

She made the effort to be a loving and responsible roll model for Mr Blue Eyes by telling him to stay away from the water dish. See here is proof of her growing responsibility and good intentions.


But sometimes, we get teased. Sometimes, we are enticed.


When it's hot out and you are one and you are tempted... you just can't resist the urge to touch.


Even when you are three and working so hard on being a big girl... you just can't resist the urge to touch.


And when you can't boss them around and it's hot out...you join them.

Pure pressure, the spoiler of all good intentions. 

And then just a touch becomes....


...little splashes.


...then BIG splashes.



And then, you are wet!

You go back for more and more because it is glorious and it is hot out. 


Then Mommy takes off your wet clothes because you can't wear wet clothes in the house. 


While she hangs the wet clothes out to dry...


More splashing.


Until the water is all gone and it is time for dinner.
