Because the pool probably reminded her of mom's oasis, the excitement didn't last long. However, soon Caroline realized that taking the water OUT of the pool could be pretty fun. And she did. Cup by cup. She's a pro-transferrer (remember the sand box)?
So, I'm just sitting around snapping pictures and just enjoying watching Caroline play. According to Kevin, I do not do this enough. I, instead, start to do this and that outside and pretty soon I forget I'm even watching Caroline and become intent on getting things done. So, I'm determined that I'm going to just sit on this day. It was that determination that led me to the idea that I could actually get Caroline to pour the water *into* the plants that desperately needed to be watered. 
You will notice in the picture, Kevin is totally enjoying the moment. In fact, I told him he was in the background of the shot, so he wanted you all to see "his guns". Hope you enjoy that show!
She was doing a GREAT job. Watering all the dead plants that I haven't had time to deal with lately. And then she became my hero. She, with one little smile, one little pull of her daddy's hand, one little blink of her eyes, got her daddy up and working with her. She was in heaven. A woman with a mission, and a man to help.
And that is how I enjoyed just sitting and being in "the moment" today. And got my plants watered as a bonus!

She is getting so big!!!! I broke out Ahna's kiddy pool last Sunday. She wasn't as interested in it as I thought :)
