I told you all about how Ellie now loves to wear her swim cap around. This one is the rubber kind, and she needs help getting it on because it is tight. One day she brings me the cap so I can put it on her. Then she comes back with the goggles. (She was raiding the swim bag.) I assume she wants to be in full regalia and start to put them on her, in response she falls on the floor screaming. I'm not kidding. Or exaggerating. She was on the floor. Screaming. And Crying. Because I tried to put the goggles on her.
Then it dawned on me that I was supposed to wear the goggles. She was including me in her game. (Aw) So I put them on, went over to where Ellie was on the floor, turned her over and showed her that I was now dutifully wearing my goggles. Once we wiped away the crocodile tears she was all smiles, happy that mom learned to play along. (This picture was taken about 30 seconds after the floor-crying incident.) So now when we can't be at the pool we play "pool". I just wish my goggles wouldn't keep fogging up.
What a lovely picture. I am sure the two of you will have loads of fun when you cannot go to the pool.
