For the second day in a row we decided to go to the pool. As soon as Amber pulls out the sunscreen Wesley starts chanting “POOL! POOL! POOL!”. He learns fast. Use sunscreen get to go swimming. He his eager to help get that stuff on so he can get in the pool. By the time I get home he can hardly stand the wait. I can’t change into my suit fast enough for him and he constantly reminds me that we are going to the pool. He physically pushes me toward the door.
We’ve started going in the “big kids pool”. He really likes the deeper water where he can get a good float in. The kiddie pool is fun for splashing around and jumping in, but the deep pool lets him really swim. He likes it when you grab him under the arms and pull him across the water on his belly. He kicks his feet if you remind him and yells out “Kick, kick!” while doing it. Super cute if I do say so myself.
It has been fun having Amber come with us. She seems to really enjoy it to. Darn cute in her pregnant belly swimming suit. I’m sure the buoyancy feels good on her big old belly. We even found the toy we had lost yesterday. It was just floating in one of the overflow catches. So all in all, quite a fun afternoon.
Maybe it is Wesley’s enthusiasm or the fact that everything is new, but he makes associations with things so quickly that you have to really watch what you do and say. Just like using sunscreen means we are going swimming and talking to Ya Ya on the phone means Dum-Dums, any two items can become inseparably linked especially if one of them is new and fun.
