Highchair Water Fun

I can assure you that Bounty paper towels are strong. I get the select-a-size ones because I usually only need the smallest size, which is about half the size of a regular paper towel.

Craig often lets Alisa dip her hands in a small bowl of water after she eats so she can help clean her hands. She loves doing it. I decided to let her do it today (I usually just wipe them with a rag) and she had so much fun splashing a bit. The water ended up all over the main tray of her highchair (I had removed the top tray for cleaning) and after she splashed for awhile I got 2 sections of paper towels to wipe up the water.

Alisa asked to play longer and asked for more water so I squeezed the water out of the paper towel. She really liked that and had me do it over and over and over again (proving that the paper towels are strong). She did it herself a few times. Then I got the idea to squeeze the water into the cupholder section of her tray. I told her it was like a swimming pool and I retrieved a baby frog from the living room. She thought that was the greatest and played with the frog and water and paper towel for at least another 20 minutes (the paper towel was never even torn after all that).
