Sensory Bath

Shaving cream, food coloring, pie pan.

Most people use a muffin tin, but mine was in the dishwasher - so we improvised!
Add a boy, bathtub, and water.

And a few Hot Wheels.

Maybe a Koi fish.

And get as messy as you can - while getting clean!

Pool Boy

I have my very own Pool Boy. All it cost was $10.00, and a few square feet of back yard space.
Look how happy this kid is! How can he be this thrilled in the water when giving him a bath is pure torture? Maybe I should install an outdoor tub...?

I love this kid.

I think we are going to have a great summer!

Workin' at the Car Wash

After playing outside in the sandbox (90 degrees in April!) we needed to cool off, and get the cars clean. So we set up a Car Wash in the bathroom!

The punk washed each car carefully, and made sure to get all the sand out of each one.

Then he set them aside to dry on a towel.

When he was finished he took his toothbrush cup and rinsed the sand out of the sink.

And took a big drink! Look how red those cheeks were. It was hot, and he enjoyed the cool water after playing so hard (and washing cars).

Happy boy, Happy Mom, clean cars - what more could you want?
