When All Else Fails

When toddlers are grumpy and can't seem to settle into a cheerful activity...
...sometimes, all it takes to help them be happy is...
...letting them play with water.
It works {almost} every time!  ;-)

I have found this miracle happens at my house too. It truly is a wonderful thing.

Such a delightful suggestion. Something I will pull out of the bag for a desperate day of teething for Zane. He LOVES water. At times I just throw him in the bathtub for his amusement and my peace, which keeps him happy for who knows how long!!

You're a much more creative and fun mom than I am. I put them to work when they get grumpy! (Of course, Shav might be a little young to unload the dishwasher or gather up all the legos, or whatever.)
