The girls enjoyed another 45 minutes with the sprinkler this afternoon. Well, Julia did. As these photos show, Vivi was as bored by the whole deal and Julia was energized by it. The funniest part of the activity was Vivi’s constant requests that I “durn up” or “durn down” the sprinkler, which accompanied promises that she would run through the appropriately high or low sprinkler. She never did. After roughly 20 trips to the faucet (I counted!), I only had to touch the handle, but not even turn it, before one or the other said, “Oh, that’s the perfect height!” I bet I didn’t actually change the height at all over my last 20 trips (I counted!).
