Zen of the faucet


Bentley has found a place to find his center, to stay calm, and to reflect on life. The kitchen sink! Unfortunately he doesn't QUITE grasp the concept of washing the dishes yet... but I think he'll be there soon. His current favorite past time is playing with the water in the sink. Simply watching it run over his hands, or transferring it from one container to another. When given the chance he will stand there for 30 minutes. Who knows - maybe longer, but his caretakers grew weary. We're trying to use the timer on the stove and train him that when the timer goes off it's time to quit playing. This is intended to prevent the meltdowns that occur when he's torn away from the sink. Only time will tell if it works!
