Yesterday we spent the whole day being industrious. We've been hitting the garage sales hard and have filled our garage with Little Tykes toys for Ally. So yesterday we decided to rearrange the house and give her the extra bedroom for her toys.In order to do that, first the toys had to be washed, and the room emptied out. The latter was a lot easier said than done, by the way. Rob spent the day inside rearranging, and Ally and I went outside with the hose and a bucket.
First thing she did was stick both hands in the bucket of suds and spend the next five minutes trying to get the bubbles off her arms. Then she crawled over to the new Ally-size picnic table and climbed on top of it. (She's quick too. I didn't even see her climbing, just caught her sitting on top about to climb down the other side, which she did remarkably well.) She helped me clean a couple of things and wandered around a while. Made her socks soaked and filthy dirty. Then I got to cleaning a little bassinet for dolls. I soaked a scratcher pad in soapy water and wrung it out in the bassinet and here comes Ally. She started slapping the water and having a great time. Well her hands were covered in grass and dirt, so she made the clean water not so clean anymore. So I dumped it and ran fresh, not soapy, water and let her play. She climbed in!! She just hiked her leg over the side and sat down, clothes and all. She kicked her legs slaphing and sloshed water over the edge. And I was outside all by myself with no camera. Boo-hoo.
Maybe I'll let her play in it again some day and be prepared for pictures. Oh well, she had a good time. Rob got almost everything where it belongs now inside, and we're now trying to figure out new places for some of the stuff. Now Ally has some toys in the living room, the bathroom, has a toy room, and a bedroom. I think she's on her way to being spoiled.
