We decided to try out George's new sprinkler he got for his bday this week...Well, George and Hal quickly got distracted and ran off in the yard to play with something else.....which left LL having a LOVE/HATE relationship with the sprinkler!!!! This was her FIRST ever sprinkler day...and.....well....she decided it was ONLY good for drinking water!!! She seriously tried to drink from the thing for about 45 minutes getting frustrated then happy with it!!! It was hilarious to watch:
At times, it looked like she was giving it mouth to mouth!!! :)
above: This was the, "Come help me Momma...I can't make it work like I want it to"
above: "If I look all cute.....will you come and help me??"
OH, THE FRUSTRATION!!!!!!!
ABOVE: One of my favorites with the foot propped up!!!
Oh, I LOVE those lips!!!!
And, we finally ended in frustration and tears and decided to put the sprinkler away and opt for a sippy cup of ice cold water :) !!!! Crazy girl!!!! :)****Happy 17 Months LL!!! And, there are about 5 million more LL's waiting in Ethiopia right now...waiting to be adopted!!! Some are younger, some are older...some are just her age....all waiting for their chance to have someone celebrating EVERY month they are home.....and to allow them to feel their first cold water from a sprinkler on a 88 degree day in April!!!! What a blessing these children are!!!! :)
Happy Thursday to you all...and happy 10 months home LL!!! We love you so much, kj
