Dani loves to take baths in our kitchen sink and so I thought she should be introduced to our kiddie pool and water table before surgery. She liked the water table a lot more than the pool, but I expected that and she spent a lot of time watching and laughing at stuff her big sisters did.
In addition to playing outside, we gave her a long bath every day leading up to the surgery and then let her run around in her diaper since we knew she would be trapped in the cast for months.
We also spent many evenings outside on the porch swing and playing in the front yard.
