French Braided Faucet Fun

Erica's new favorite past time is playing with the "wa-wa" in the sink. It drove me crazy for a while because I would have to hang out in the bathroom with her for long periods of time while she played to make sure she didn't flood my bathroom, or cause some small catastrophe (as kids tend to do). Finally, I got the bright idea to start doing her hair while she plays--BRILLIANT, I must say, because now she is so distracted she doesn't even notice I am there. Prior to this, combing her hair, putting in pony tails, barrettes, etc--was always kind of a low-grade battle--so I was happy to have found a way to win this battle (this time)! I actually gave her a little hair cut the other day using this same distraction tool--nice... :)

Above you can see my first attempt at a french braid since middle school--I was actually pretty impressed I could remember how to do it! She looks like such a big girl with her hair all pulled back, and her little purse slung around her.

Here she is scrubbing up with soap. I have to take the soap away usually because she would use the entire container just making bubbles (aka.."bubb-o's") if you let her!
