Alice vibrations

As noted, Alice likes the bathroom. I think she likes baths as well, even if she’s a bit reluctant to get in at first.

A couple of evenings ago I decided that Charles was getting a bit ripe and it was time for a bath. Charles wasn’t overly thrilled about it but I browbeat him in to acquiesing. As I’m drawing the bath for him, Alice hears the running water from downstairs and heads up the stairs with her new found stairing climbing talent. She managed to get up to just short of the landing before Mom caught her and brought her the rest of the way up.

As soon as she was set down upstairs, Alice rushed in to the bath room to see what was going on. She saw Charles in the tub and apparently decided that she should have a bath as well. I think she was trying to climb over the side of the tub to get in, but Charles and I were against it. After a few failed attempted at getting her leg over the edge, Alice started stomping her little feet in frustration. She stomped faster and faster until she was literally vibrating. I couldn’t tell if she was happy, excited or upset at first, but after her vibrational plea for help failed she collapsed in tears so I’m thinking “upset” was the operative emotion.
