Adventures in bathing

After nearly two weeks of summer camp, most of which involves a swimming pool, Kate still isn’t too big a fan of putting her face in the water. She’ll do it though. On her terms.

In the meantime, however, she’s realized that she can lay on her back and put her head in the water. Big step for her. Two weeks of camp taught her what I haven’t been able to in two years. (disclaimer, this IS the bathtub, not a creepy foaming swimming pool)

Wrapping up her bath, and ‘cleaning up’ her toys, I caught her in midst of playing ‘T.Rex.’ These poor little beasties were her ‘prize’ for being a ranting lunatic at the dentist this morning. After cleaning her top teeth the clueless hygienist actually pulled the tools out of Kate’s mouth to reload. It was all the kid needed to whip out her ‘I don’t LIKE it!’ act complete with tears. 10 minutes, and two hefty threats later (’they won’t let us leave until you let them finish’ and the Pièce de résistance, ‘if you don’t let them finish, your teeth will fall out and you know what that means? NO MORE CHICKEN FINGERS!’), she let them finish. Anyway, back to her ‘prize’…

She makes a pretty good dinosaur, wouldn’t you say?
