Terrence and Natalie have yet to master the art of getting a glass from the kitchen cabinet, filling it with water, and drinking out of it. As a result, they're currently getting their hydration via a bowl of water on the kitchen floor. Joshua has always been interested in the bowl of water, and we usually have to move it up to the kitchen counter when he's playing nearby to keep him from splashing in it, spilling it, and trying to pick it up and carry it around. Recently we decided to make an effort to teach him to leave it alone, and we'd made decent progress in that area. However, we now have another crawler in the house, and she happens to love water and especially the dog water bowl. As soon as she sees it, even from across the room, she'll turbo-crawl straight there. Usually we'll notice and pick it up in time, which makes her cry in sadness. Today, though, I was distracted, and both kids made it to the bowl and started playing in it. Before I moved it up to the counter, I snapped this picture of the two of them enjoying a quick forbidden splashing session.
