Hope you have a great weekend! We plan on spending part of it at the pool- Oliver just got his very first pool pass and couldn’t be more proud… he has spent the past three days floating around in the kiddie pool in his life vest saying dreamily “This is soooo we-waxing (relaxing)” while I follow Emil around as he attempts to drown himself by only walking in water neck-or chin-deep while simultaneously refusing to hold my hand under any circumstances. Of course, he slips under water and I grab him up, sputtering and coughing every few minutes. Jeez. This pool thing is no joke! It will be a wonderful thing once they can all swim!
What a big boy! I bet he is so proud of that. Good luck keeping them above water this summer, pools with little ones aren’t we-waxing for parents.
I do love the pool with my little ones, but it is a big source of worry for me, too. This year, my 5 year old is taking swimming lessons, because keeping an eye on her and on my 20 month old at the same time is really tough. She is finally getting an appreciation of her own abilities in the water – its so exciting! Congrats to Oliver! I’m sure he feels so grown up. 🙂
Enjoy! James loves pools (having grown up with one). I much prefer natural bodies of water and quickly get bored in the pool… but then again I’m not the greatest swimmer and don’t do laps or anything. Emil sounds very brave and independent! I’ll be with Oliver, we-waxing 🙂
