I knew Liv was playing with water this morning, I just didn’t care. That is, I didn’t care until I heard about five water sloshes in a row. Then I turned my attention to my four year old and began walking toward the noise.
Me: What did you do in here, Livia? Spray a hose around the dining room?
Liv: No. [pause] I was feeding and baptizing my babies.
And that, my friends, was the end of water play at the Tredways on a Wednesday morning. Good thing all our baby dolls have now received the sign and seal of the new covenant.

She is a real Presbyterian preschooler! ;)
Rest assured that Livia is in good company. Our children’s church curriculum is very Montessori and one of the lessons (repeated every year or two) is baptism and there is a doll and bowl in the classrooms for the children to practice on. It is a pretty popular lesson to work with!
