Four and a Half and Delightful

He is four and a half and delightful. Using a bunch of energy to make a flood. With the hose under the play fort in the backyard. There is nothing like being commander of the garden hose. If you are four and do not get to do it at home I made a deal with him. He can have the water on As long as he does not get me or the dog wet. Uh-oh. I forgot to include the cat in the deal….

This is so delightful, Caren, and it reminds me so much of when one of my sons was four. He loved the hose too...always making a flood in the yard but he was so happy doing it that I just hated to stop him. Good thing we didn't have a cat though. lol

Nothing keeps him entertained the way a water hose does; I have been known to let him play with it for an hour, and he would like to have it going for two. I encourage him to fill up buckets; we have plenty. We live in the country.
