POOL FUN...

Yesterday we took the kids to the pool.  The weather was sunny and super warm and we had a great time!  We have a pool at our house however, the start up is expensive so we're saving that money and using a local pool instead.  The really nice thing about this community, is not only do they have a baby pool...but they also have a zero entry pool which Bailey gets a kick out of.

Boo had a lot of fun.  She still uses her vest (although she will jump in to me without the vest and go under the water to get rings).  We may spend the money to have some lessons with a woman that is "famous" for getting kids to swim in a week.  For Bailey, she needs to learn how NOT to sink.  I can't really figure out how to explain it to her, I tell her to kick and move her arms but bless her heart if she still doesn't sink like a rock.  I know that it will be like so many things, one day it will just "click" and then she'll be a fish...no doubt!

Brandon did really well.  This was his first time and while I'm not sure that he "loved it", he didn't cry...even when we put him in the baby float.  He was very busy watching all the people around him.  The first time someone accidentally splashed him, it caught him off guard but the next couple of times it didn't really seem to bother him.  My goal is to get them to the pool once a week this summer.  I'm hopeful that by the end of summer Bailey will be swimming and Brandon will be playing and having fun in the water.  Oh...and the picture at the very bottom, don't you just LOVE those thighs!!! :)
