Water, Water Everywhere

So not much to post about, so I'll cut and paste and something my sis emailed about the foster nephew Zach who recently turned 2...


Zach has been dumping lots of water out of the bathtub with his little plastic bowls and he reaches WAY over and dumps it into the potty. To him, this is heaven. And who needs 90,000 appropriate bathtub toys anyway? Just a plastic bowl will keep 'em entertained for hours on end. He has found that the bowl on his potty chair makes quite a nice water dipper, and hey -
its not dirty because he never uses the potty chair. He just dumps water in it. And speaking of water - he thinks the cool mist vaporizer in his room is the BOMB. I mean, there is water in it! And smoke comes out the top. SA-MOKE, he calls it. What a cool invention. Doesn't matter that it helps you breathe, silly kid, and seriously its Not a Toy.

He helped stir the iced tea last night when I was making supper. I gave him a spoon and he felt very important and useful while helping. I was on the phone with Nannette and noticed he put down the spoon and was stirring with his hand (Cousin Griswald style) then he started taking his clean empty sippy cup, and dipping out tea and then drinking it and and -- Re-Dipping. I told Kelly before supper, Um, that tea has been Griswald stirred. Not to worry the germ meter, he had washed his hands before "helping me" stir tea and cooking supper.

He has watched his Dora Dance to the Rescue DVD and been GLUED to it. I got lots of laundry folded and even went upstairs to put it away. And He. Never. Noticed. He loves to say Swiper Get out of the Bottle!, because Swiper is trapped in the Genie's bottle.

I got him the Dora DVD for his bday (along with a sweatsuit).
