First time I've offered indoor water play to the whole group in a LONG time. It's rough going.
Ages 5, 2.5, 1.5, and 10mos are here. so far the older three are using the water and the baby is cautiously watching. There's a lot of drinking of water by the 2.5 and 1.5. SIGH. There's a lot of spilling on purpose by the 1.5, who gives me a LOOK as he hoards the spoons and sets the on the ground beside him, or drinks the water, or deliberately pours it in his lap. Mostly the 1.5 is sitting there staring at me while the other two play.
I'm trying so hard not to yell.
The entire reason I am doing water is to address the 2.5's current need to explore with liquids. It's supposed to be a nice activity. But it's highlighting ways in which the 5 and 1.5 don't get limits set at home or get much exposure to different things like this. I frankly question whether they even play in the bathtub at home, the way 1.5 is acting with it. If he does, he sure as sure isn't stopped from drinking the water.
