Simple maths, I know, but a combination that was very funny to watch!
We’ve had grass put down in the garden and so we’ve got the garden hose out to water it (lots) and last night after I got back from work, Claire had let Jack outside to play before his bath-time and he had wandered over to where the sprinkler was spraying water. It’s probably worth noting here that he was only wearing his white baby vest and a nappy (of course, as Naked Toddlers Make a Mess!)
As he’d be poking around with the sprinkler, the direction of it changed and he caught a bit of the spray. As I mentioned in the Confidence++ post, he’s getting more and more brave and so kept going back for more, despite being ‘bitten’ by the sprinkler!
At one point, he was leaning almost directly over it looking downwards at it whilst the sprinkler sprayed off to one side, and then as it came back, he copped a real eye-full and was almost instantly drenched.
At this point, Claire was sitting on the doorstep laughing whilst I was trying to get a £250 prize by capturing it all on the video camera! (Hmm, one day maybe I should actually submit that to ‘You’ve Been Framed’!)
The end result was a very soggy Jack – standing there in his now see-through vest, dripping from head to toe in cold tap water!
Although the weather outside was still quite warm, he started shivering until we wrapped him up in a big bath towel and whisked him off inside. But, you can see that he was absolutely enjoying himself by the big beaming smile plastered all across his little face. And that he whined when we brought him in! Kids, eh?
