Playing with water!

Who knew playing with water could be so fun! Since I've decided Andrew didn't have chicken pox (that and a couple other helpful reviews!) I decided we could play outside yesterday. While I was filling Andrew's pool with water he decided he wanted to play with the hose! He would grab it out of the pool and spray it around, and eventually spray himself in the face. Then he'd drop the hose and crawl to me to rescue him. He did it more than once - it was so funny! I have a video of it, but don't know how to upload it!


Andrew took his first steps a couple weeks ago, and over the past couple days since he's been feeling better is really taking off. Yesterday he took 10 unassisted steps! I would say he'll be walking in a week, but this child seems to be content getting almost to a point and then maintaining for a while! As long as he's happy!

One of Andrew's "I'm sorry you're sick" toys was a little red cozy coupe car. We can't keep him out of it! He refuses to use the door, and will only climb in and out on the side where the door doesn't open. He likes to pull it around so he can watch tv - he sits in it and puts his feet on the dash - it's so cute! We got the boys one of these cars at a garage sale for up at the lake, and they loved it so much I decided he had to have one!

Whenever I'm telling Andrew he can't do something he's trying to do (open the sliding glass door, play on the garbage can, get in the dog food, etc) I always give him a warning with an "eh, eh, eh!" This is apparently the warning that has been passed down for many generations as me, Laurie, Jean, my mom, Aunt Sandy & probably Grandma all do the same thing. The funny part of the story - Andrew will now go over to the door (or any other forbidden area) and give himself an "eh, eh, eh!" Too cute!

Andrew looks so cute out on the patio with his pool and by the way your patio looks great too!! If he thought spraying himself in the face was fun, just wait until next year when he can hose Holly down too. I'm sure that will be tons of fun for him! :) Haha!! I'm glad he's feeling better and enjoying his cozy coupe car. If you wanted to upload your video try going onto google.
