Testin' the waters


As you know, Ellie does not exactly enjoy bathtime. I thought every child enjoyed splashing around in wet stuff and bath time was a fun diversion! Not so for Miss Ellie! Dad (Nathan) got the brilliant idea photographed above (to put her bath toys in a pot of water). For a few minutes she seemed to actually enjoy herself. First she tested the water with her index finger, then she would try to grab her toys by the parts floating above the water line. The fun ended when her palm got wet and a rivulet of water started to run down her arm, then she was looking for a place to dry off. Baby steps!

Your wisdom amazes me. Not really, I always knew you both were Very intelligent!! Ellie will get to liking water one of these days--just like you said"Baby Steps". We remember today is the pediatrican's visit. We are praying it will be informative and helpful. God gave Ellie to YOU and no one can love her and help her more than the two of you!!! Love and prayers, Aunt Ruth
