Whether it is a pool, a hose, a water table, or the sink, he can't get enough. He just loves to play with water. When he is outside he heads to the water table to splash and play. If the hose is out, he is ready to spray the hose at anything (or anyone!) he can. He really does love to play in the water. While initially this summer he was a bit reticent to try getting in and was a bit nervous; taking it slow, he has learned to love everything about the pool.
Any opportunity to play with water makes Gus smile and laugh and sometimes squeal with joy. It is so great to see him so outwardly and openly happy, even if it is just taking a bath. While he will be happy to jump in the pool, put his face in the water, or spray himself with a hose, he hates having his hair washed. To be fair, it's not the washing of his hair he minds so much, but more about water being poured over his head. This also makes him squeal, but not with joy. It makes keeping him clean tough sometimes!
Of all the water that Gus has access to, it is that water he can't play in that continues to prove to pique his interest the most. The Toilet. It's my fault really, I showed him how to flush, and that is the intrigue that has held his interest. He seeks it out whenever he can sneak access. He knows that the key to keeping his opportunity alive is to keep quiet. There's no squealing or laughter when he finds access to that great white bowl with the magic button. Apparently, much like our dog, Rip, Gus feels toilet water is the best water.
