Hose off eh!

Quinn has a new predilection for water sources. The kitchen tap, the bathroom tap, the shower tap. And the garden hose. He loves the garden hose. I taught him how to turn on the nozzle and helped him do it a few times. It's pretty stiff and he seemed to need the help - but then he walked away with the hose while I was momentarily distracted and very nearly squirted the neighbours who were passing by.

He also loves the kitchen tap. Every day, 7 times a day, he walks over to the sink, points at it and says "Ah!". Most times we say no. The other day I finally relented and sat him right in the sink and he turned the tap on and off and tried to operate the sprayer nozzle. Fortunately the sprayer nozzle is even harder to operate than the garden hose and I managed to escape unscathed. Quinn was absolutely soaked though. Now he asks 14 times a day. I've created a monster :)

He had a blast (pun intended) operating the hose at Gramma and Grampa's on the weekend. Grampa was trying desperately to teach Quinn to spray other people, but so far he's quite focused on the nozzle-operating part. It won't take long before he masters it and Grampa can move him onto the finer nuances of nozzle-operating motivations though, I'm sure.
