Recipe for hours of easy entertainment:
- 1 baby bathtub (M has long since graduated from it, turns out it is very versatile)
- Water (adjust amount as desired)
- Numerous borrowed plastic balls (the neighbor girl's, stored within view of our patio)
- 1 boisterous toddler
Preheat patio to 70F or warmer. Combine first three ingredients and stir well. Add toddler and allow mixture to soak until cold and wrinkly. Rewarm before continuing.
Can you just hear the yells? "Ball! Ball!" At one point I heard a neighbor say, "What is that noise?" Our patio is in the center of the courtyard, into which most apartments have windows. Any talking or noise carries really well, echoing around the place. I think our neighbors are in for a long summer. 
It took much longer than I expected for her to attempt climbing into the tub. A good 15 minutes I would say. Peeling the cold, wet jeans off was quite a chore. Tim was much smarter when he supervised tub time this weekend, first putting her into her bathing suit.
