Toddler Ice Play

When the neighbors are away, the toddlers will play. As we are looking after our downstairs neighbors' cats while they are away, I thought it would only be fair if we also played in their yard.

I froze water in a bunch of cups, filled up a small bucket with water and New Kid had a field day. It is amazing how much fun the simple things can be. (Be sure to toss away the ice cubes once they reach mouthing size) I let the ice fall out of the cups on its own, rather than trying to wrestle it out beforehand. It was always a surprise to New Kid when a giant ice cube plopped out of a cup!

I was only sorry I didn't bring down some tea to enjoy while I lounged on the most comfortable chairs ever. I also tried hard not to think about how fabulous it would be if I owned the yard and could lounge out there everyday.  Maybe when my fabulous neighbor reads this post she will invite us back for more!
