We went to our local Civic Center this evening, for an outdoor concert & car show. We wandered the vendor's booths, looked at cars, listened to music and finally walked past the fountain area. There were children and adults playing in and around and she was intrigued. 
I had no idea that Emma would even be interested, as the last time we tried fountains she was terrified! (probably in May )
She marched right up and got friendly with another little boy and kept getting closer and closer. Getting splashed and splattered.
Until finally she was just right in there getting soaked and splashing in those jets of water! Not just the small ones either! Having a ball!
She is such an independent child and was so happy to run out into the fountains and play and occasionally come back to me and touch base. Or even just to look at me and make sure I could see her and she could see me.
Having no clue that she'd be interested, we weren't prepared for a soaking wet kid on the ride home! I stripped her down,changed her diaper and wrapped her in my jacket that is kept in the car. Hadn't used that jacket in months, but surely glad it was still in there tonight! I'm thinking that visiting the local fountains this week is on our "To Do List" now, with a swimsuit and a towel, of course!!
