like any of you could resist those big brown pleading eyes....not a chance. this dear child adores the pool. loves, loves, loves every bit of it. the jumping in, the splashing, all the crazy kids, the 68 degree temperatures, the looking under water (with or without goggles), the mouth open, then choking and subsequent retching in the pool (okay, maybe not that part)...
it has been so sweet to see him play in this way. he's already getting the hang of it, and his short little legs are constantly kicking while he's in. i hope (realllly hope) someday soon he'll be able to swim without any floatation devices, because that would do so much for my peace of mind...
in the meantime, however, he's getting lots of practice. he doesn't seem to have much fear at the moment, and generally is just thrilled to be in or around the pool.
leaves me wondering....how do you feel so joyous in such frigid waters?? what happens between age 3 and 35 (ish) to make one dislike those temperatures so?? odd....whatever the case, this kid is loving it...
