Wednesday morning we took off e's Elmo shirt, went outside and put fresh water in the water table, a table about 18 inches tall (excluding the center tower), two feet in diameter and six inches deep that has several water play devices attached to it. The water was quite warm, I suppose because the hose lies in the sun. After a while one of the little balls rolled under the table, so e lay on the patio tiles to reach for it. When she stood up her chest was brown due to the little puddles on the tiles, dusty from the dust storm. I rinsed her off, then she lay down again a couple of times so I'd rinse her again. I had to laugh, she is so cute when she does things like that. After we came back in, I put her pants in to soak, but I'm afraid they may never be white again.
Another fun activity these days is the chase. I push the shopping cart (which doesn't require me to lean over too much) and follow e as she pushes the little red Radio Flyer wagon from the sliding door in the family room through the kitchen, around the dining table and back to the door. She can go very fast! Sometimes she allows me to pull a big black ant with red wheels that has a long-enough cord that I barely have to lean over. She can do this for a very long time without tiring.
After supper K took another load to Goodwill, and then we moved furniture a bit to prepare the house for showing after the Ohio trip.
