amelia and her waterbearer

amelia has finally gotten over her fear of sand so that she genuinely enjoys going to the beach, she has one problem still: she won't go in the water, but she desperately wants water to aid in her sandplaying. her solution? brave little helen, pictured here, who happily ran and fetched it for her. it was pretty hilarious hearing amelia bark executive orders to helen: "helen, MOOOOORE WAAAATER!!!!"
