At the Splash Park

Today we had dinner at a nearby park that has an interactive water fountain for kids to play in. It stays warm practically all night long, so Emmett had a great time in the water. He did stop once or twice, huddling in his towel to warm up (the water is COLD). It was really nice to watch him play so well with other kids in the fountain. He was pouring water on other kids, and they were pouring water on him, all without incident. I even saw him approach one girl to pour water on her, but when she shied away he went to another kid to pour out his water. Wow! Reading subtle social cues! Woo hoo!

Luke was interested in the fountain, too. Mostly, he wanted to touch the square grid in the middle that covers the drain. Twice he set off determined to touch it, but got upset by water spray before he reached it. I stayed just a step behind, so I scooped him up as soon as he started to yell.
