This past week water has been the big draw. Well, water and Auntie Katrina, both, as Katrina came up for a full week's visit, just to hang with us. Leona *loved* playing with and around her - one of her all-time favorite things has been peek-a-boo. One version: She goes behind the couch, waits patiently until she can't contain herself any longer and bursts out "Borte!" --gone-- and then into a fit of giggles when Katrina turns her head to look, before she scampers off to a new position. Repeat. Repeat. Repeat.
But yeah, so the water. The joy that has been ensuing from pouring water from one cup or mug or glass to the other has been imense.
Katrina filmed a "short" bit of the hour we played the first water-day:

And note the clear directing: "Please give me that, no not that, that." "Please give me some more water." etc.
Next day we started up again, but it came to a quick stop - I think her arms were *super* soar (did you notice how tired her arms got from holding up and out that heavy ceramic mug hehehe), which led to not as much patience on her end ;)
