Dress-up scuba divers
28 June 08

David’s gear has been drying out, so it didn’t take long for the girls to find it and dress up in it!

Aïcha, 3yo, + Brioni, 22 months, June 2008
I didn't set this up at all — Aïcha has been learning about scuba diving from David, so she knew what the gear was for. (Although she is wearing her mask like a goggles OVER her nose!)

While Aïcha was wearing flippers, she was talking to Brioni about how divers go to the edge and jump off. Fearful that she could easily fall out of the fins, I cautioned her not to get close to the edge of the deck.

A: What would happen if I fell off the edge?
L: You would hurt yourself. It would be very sad.
A: What would you do?
L: I would cry.
B: Would you suck your thumb?
L: No, Brioni, I don’t suck my thumb.
B: Do you suck your thumb while you’re sleeping in bed?
L: No, I don’t suck my thumb while I’m sleeping.
