You can't start them early enough. If it was not winter the hose would be running. It is quite clear that even well before 15 months of age a child (young Homo sapien)will mimic a parent or at least try persistently even when they can not stand for very long. I doubt she is having a Zen-like experience though she is trying to hand-water. Teach your children well.

This brought back memories of when my now teenaged son discovered the water hose and the fun of spraying his mum. He was around the same age and I learned quickly to keep an eye on the water hose. Funny, he still loves watering the garden ... but according to his own ideas of what needs watering.
