Water Wary

We just returned from a trip to Nana Aldrich's for Xmas and then to Hawaii. For some reason on this trip Sierra became very afraid of the water. She was really scared to get her baths at Nana's house and we were worried about how she would do at the beach when we got to Kona. She was pretty scared at first, but she loved to play in the sand, so we put her playing near a tide pool about a foot away from the water and she was happy as a lark. After awhile she made her way closer and closer to the water and finally decided it would be ok to go in. Since it was a slope down to the water (a VERY tiny one), she turned around and backed into the water "toes first" as she does for going down the stairs. It was very cute!

By the end of our week in Hawaii, she was totally comfortable in the water and even didn't get scared when the waves would come in. She must miss it now that we're back home because today I found her in the bathroom swishing her toy around in the toilet.
