It’s also Tot’s day today! VENTI MES!
And what a celebration it has been. I knew today had to contain some sort of water play, so we would head to the Splash Pad at Kierlands with Moms of the City from my church. But first…a bit of piggy play on the patio.
Then…off to Kierland. Being 110 today, we smothered the lotion, donned the shades and sported the hat. Ms. Fashionista.
When we arrived, I gently placed Tatum down on one of the mini-fountains and she started to cry.
Seriously, MOM?
Once I demonstrated the water fun she could have by running around myself in the springs (looking ridiculous, I might add, but oh..the sacrifices (to my hair and clothes) we make for our children 🙂
Finally, she couldn’t get enough. Moreover, she met a little friend, Addison, who walked with her through the water and guided her along!
Now, she was a pro!
I handed her a cup and this added a whole new splashing dimension.
While there, I met a lovely girl (Addison’s mom) from Indiana who just moved here with her husband 3 weeks ago. She’ll be a fellow teacher in the Isaac District, so we got to chat for a while about her new venture. Truly a blessing which I was not expecting (which are the best kind)
Getting her to leave the Splash Pad? This was another kind of water works within her eyes 🙁
