Last week Everly came down with a little summer cold bug and her few rough days happened to correspond to the first big heat wave of the season. It was 100 degrees outside but she was stir crazy in between two of her three naps, cycling between fussing and cuddling non-stop. So we went outside to play with a bucket of water in an attempt to keep her quiet-ish while Owen napped. After a few minutes of splashing she dipped her hands in the water and turned around to pat my face with her drippy fingers. It was so much fun, apparently, that it kept her occupied for 15 minutes. I was soaked, but cool, and giggling with my sick baby for a few moments eased the strain of an otherwise emotionally intense day.
aww! she is such a cutie! there's nothing like playing with water outside in the summer :)
