Washing the car

Washing the cars is now a family experience. I use to think it was silly, why not just drive through at a gas station? But now, the kids love it, it is an excuse to play in the water, what can be better than that!
This was Alexander’s first time washing and he did enjoy it! The bucket of soapy water was great, but whenever it was in use he went to a fun place under the back bumper where there was a great mud puddle in which to play, and eat muddy rocks.

The girls even got to help was this time, and then to make a bigger mess of themselves they too played in a mud puddle. So after the vehicles got cleaned, the kids came inside for a bath. If you ask the, that is the perfect end to any activity.

Alexander’s new skill is clapping, he just learned it yesterday and he finds it to be quite entertaining. He has also added a new sign to his “vocabulary”, which is clean up. He likes that one too, so much so that he has stopped signing “finished” and just goes straight to “clean up”, just as his sisters did when they learned that sign.
