a diaper and a dog...: The Water Bowl Dump

Of all the toys Rylan has scattered across this sweet little home of ours, his play things of preference over the last month or so are...you guessed it, the dog bowls! They are stainless steel. They are LOUD. They are dirty. They are LOUD. Did I mention they are LOUD? That must be the attraction for him because he has pure joy written all over that darling little baby face of his every time he tosses the bowl down onto the hardwoods and BOOM, it makes that noise only stainless steel can as it hits wood floors!

The added bonus of this "game" Rylan likes to play? When the dog bowls are FULL! Well, let's be honest, the food bowl is never full because Harley devours whatever is in it in what seems to be a new record time everyday. But the water bowl, well, that's usually full because I'm neurotic about making sure the pup has clean, fresh water all the time (there simply aren't any spots in this house for Harley's food and water bowl to call home where the baby couldn't get to it and Harley would still have access so you can forget that suggestion). Rylan didn't start crawling until 9 1/2 months but make no mistake about it, the kid is FAST. Really fast. We usually get to the water bowl before he does but today, my skills failed me - TWICE. Hey, at least my floors are clean tonight!
