Water Exploration

In October I focused some of Charlotte's play on fabrics, this month we focused on water. I had noticed her more interested in the faucet and my water glasses and so I followed her lead and gave her a variety of water activities this month.

The Faucet

 This is her favorite, we did it several times a week - it was perfect for after lunch clean up!


Bath Time

We were finally able to find a bath seat for her after searching high and low because they are illegal now due to babies drowning in them - says so right on the seat! But since I dont leave my infant unattended in the bath its a risk we are willing to take because a baby bath does not work for this girl (lay down? container her in a small space? give her mouth access to gallons of water to gulp? Not happening) and I was tired of having to get in the bath with her every night and so was she - girlfriend loves her independence. So the bath seat has been a huge hit and now after we wash we usually play for another 10 minutes. We splash, sing songs and play with toys - good times all around :)

Water Tray

Another hit with Little Miss was the water tray - a cookie sheet with a layer of warm water, a few toys (she LOVES those little animals! anything chewable and has a face is a winner in her book :) ) , put a few towels down and let her go. It didn't hold her attention as long as the others but she enjoyed it and had fun. She finished by laying her face down in the water, lifting her wet face up, blew some raspberries and died laughing. She is a silly one :)
