Summertime.....Finally!

We've been working and working on the house and the pool and Daddy FINALLY says we can swim in the big pool. Alex had his first swimming lesson last Friday and we have a movie - i have to figure that out - but he did great for being in a new environment and such a large, loud area. He clung to me for the first half but did go down the slide and did hang on to the dumb bell floaties on his own - he was very cold and tired when he got out. I was surprised how "cold" an 84 degree pool was! The other parents were nice too.
At home Daddy was the first one in the pool on Saturday! Alex put his toes in but our pool is pretty cold - about 74 in the shallow end - so Alex was content with his toes in sitting with Jaime and Daddy. He was so good. I was afraid he would just jump in.

On Sunday we took out the little pool and put some water in - I got it at the end of the season last year for $3.14 at Target - what a deal - except half of it is deflated because the inflater part keeps leaking - Oh well - I got a new one yesterday and this one better stay inflated - it was more than 3.14! Alex had so much fun playing in the water - he was outside for a while but then he jumped in and was splashing around and "swimming". Grandma taught him to lift the edge of the pool and make waves - she is lucky she did not get wet!
