Splash and Dash

We have enjoyed the differences between Brock and Riley from day one. Riley is our daredevil, no conscious child, while Brock is our cautious one, "wait until I am ready" child. This summer water has brought a change of roles which has left smiles on our faces. Riley loves to splash in the water. He would stand by the red wagon, filled with water, all day with his toy tractors and splash if we would let him. However, he will not run through the sprinklers. The sidewalk is as close as he will come. You never see him on the lawn if the sprinklers are on.

Brock on the other hand, becomes a maniac once the sprinkles are on. It doesn't matter how cold the water is, he is there running from sprinkler to sprinkler. Every night he asks, "can I run through the sprinklers." This is the same boy who will shed tears if he has to get his hair wet before combing his hair.
