Goofy day

Callie had quite the goofy day yesterday.  We were out for most of the morning walking around the local flee market, playing at the park, checking out the dogs at the dog park and walking along the River Mall looking for fishies.  There are no fish in the small "river" that runs through Rokko Island.  It's water that is about 2 ft. deep at it's deepest that runs down a concrete path, but Callie insists that there are fish in it :)  

When we came back inside to get lunch ready Callie was pretty hot and dirty so I stripped her down to her diaper, but a big towel on the kitchen floor and gave her a large pot with soapy water.  This was a suggestion from a Mommy friend and it kept Callie occupied for quite a while, while cleaning her arms and hands too :)  In fact, she really didn't want to stop playing, even to eat!  At first I gave her a spoon to play with in the water but she kept dipping it in and then drinking the soapy water.  So I gave her a cup thinking she would put the spoon in the cup . . .  She ended up filling up the cup and then dumping it all over her belly and giggling.  She was having too much fun!

Once lunch was ready I scooped her up in a big towel, dried her off, put on clothes and then we sat down to lunch.  She kept talking about her hat before she would eat and I had no clue what she meant until I realized that she wanted the hooded towel I had used to dry her off.  She sat for most of her lunch with her towel "hat" on.  What a goof ball!!

Callie and her towel "hat"

Apparently the hat fascination didn't wear off once she woke up from her nap.  We were getting ready to go outside and play with some friends.  I had my sun hat on while I was trying to put on Callie's shoes and she kept asking for it.  She had so much fun wearing the hat and even started posing with it when I was taking her picture.

Posing for the camera :)

What's really funny about the whole hat thing is that ever since her Doc Band came off she has put up a huge fight when I try to put a hat on her.  It gets so sunny here in the summer and she is so fair I was worried she was going to end up with a sunburnt head for most of the summer.  Hopefully she continues to love hats :)

She is so precious!! We had many water play days indoors in seattle when it would rain:) I would throw down a huge towel in the kitchen, some bowls, spoons, cups, and it was a great time!!
