Sprinkler Lesson

One warm evening last week, the three of us went for a walk and tried out an ice cream shop we hadn't been to before. Linus arrived back at home with chocolate ice cream dried up around his mouth. Matthew took Linus in the house while I turned on the sprinkler for the lawn. In Wisconsin I have never watered a lawn, but here we need to. Linus came back outside and walked to the sprinkler. He was shocked when it sprayed him in the face with water. I thought I would allay his distress by demonstrating how fun it is to run through the sprinkler. He still wasn't convinced, so I scooped him up and we ran through it together. He liked it better this way because I kept his face out of the water.
