Just Add Water

A few days ago Lee asked if she could give her animals a bath.  This is the collection of plastic animals that we inherited in bits and pieces (we must have a few hundred of them) that she and Clara have played with for hours on end.  

So I got out a bucket of water, and before I knew it, a subset of the animals were lined up waiting for a turn in the pool.

It always amazes me how you can take something, just add water, and it becomes an entirely new activity.  They played with animals, Polly Pockets, and containers of water for most of the next few days, until I finally put everything away.
