We continue to play with color.
Kodi was sick today with a runny nose and a low grade fever. I suspect that she got a cold from the swimming playdate a few days ago. Luckily she was purky and cheerful despite coughs and constant sniffing.
We were going to host a playdate with friends but I ended up canceling it. Just didn't want to pass germs to other kids even though I think she just got a common cold. So I thought about a great idea to keep her busy.
a bowl of orange color ice cubes.
Container of different size and shape.
The setting meant an hour of playing by herself!
The aqua blue container was supposed to be the swimming pool for the eggs. Those were the plastic, hide-the-candy kind of eggs she got from Easter. We tried to sink those eggs by filling them with water and marbles but it didn't work. Those eggs really wanted to float!
It happened so that the balcony was due for a good scrubbing. So I carried a bucket of soapy water and scrubbed the floor while she played with the color water. It was really fun that we could each be working on different things while at the same time share the space and some commonality. Water, of course, was the theme.
Later on she decided that she's had enough of color water and floating experiment. She joined me by splashing the floor with water. There's always something magical about kids and water. Getting the water out of the bucket with different scoop or container was her big thing today.
She also cleaned the chairs that have been sitting on the balcony collecting dusts and air pollution.
She had a warm shower in the big bath tub when we were done. I decided that we should "picnic" since the balcony is sparkling clean now.
Dinner grace.
Eat!
