Aside from all the normal things we need water for i.e life, water is magical in my house. It can cure any bad mood, make tummy aches go away and turn a boring day into the best one yet. My kids LOVE water, it is a my go to thing when I don't know what to do.
Today I thought to get some quality mommy and Tristen time I would get water balloons and Tristen and I would have a balloon fight. I learned today there is an art to filling up and tying a water balloon. I was completely soaked and it took me an hour to fill up the bucket full of the balloons. Of course I was a totally girl about it and made sure there were enough of each color so the bucket looked nice.
Tristen ate his lunch, I got Connor all set up outside and let Tristen out. He ran over to the bucket of balloons all excited and curious. He picked one up and it popped in his hand. Then all Hell broke loose. He went screaming and running for cover. I tried to show him they were safe, tried to get him to touch the balloon, showed him it was fun to have them pop on his feet. But all he did was scream at the sight of them.
Eventually he would let me pick one up if I held him so I made it a game and then let him throw them. In the end he warmed up to them but I was shocked that he did not like them right away. Poor Tristen is going to look back on all of these videos and think I am such a mean mommy LOL
