PoolSide

We had an awesome adventure yesterday. Cabin fever has set in at our house and we're all snapping at each other like sharks. So it was entirely fitting that we took it to the water.

Actually, we had SO much fun and it was just the break we needed to feel good again. The boy was unsure at first, but the ball was a good distraction and Mom & Dad were in the water. It wasn't long before he decided he wanted to join us.

And it took even less time for him to decide that this water thing was neat! Within minutes of being in my arms in the pool, he was exploring how the water moved over his feet and hands. He LOVED wearing the bright red life jacket and was a little sad when we took it off for a bit.

A couple of bouts of temper earned him some poolside talks and he was eager to jump back into the water on his best behaviour.

His favourite water toy was hands-down the little orange slide. "Again!" A close second was zooming on his tummy through the water (held in Mom's arms). And definitely we can't forget some righteous splashing at Dad by kicking his little legs for all he was worth.

We're hoping to go once a week.
