Water Bug

Parker had SO MUCH fun playing at Grammy and Grampy's pool today...he hasn't been swimming since at least last year, and he has never been very comfortable in the water (his first swimming lessons were a real bust). But I think today was the beginning of him finally having fun in the water, and hopefully things will just improve from here! He was timid to get in with me at first, but once he was in he just wanted to "pedal and splash" all day long! I had to hold onto him the whole time, but he was loving being in the water. I absolutely loved swimming in my grandparents' pool when I was a kid, so I know how much fun he will have once he opens up to learning to swim. Here's to the beginning of a great summer!

Pool Time!

Now that we have a pool in the back yard again, it feels like summer is officially here! Actually, it means that June is over, so now we finally get to see the sun again and it's warm enough to get naked and start splashing! Although, Parker seems to be a bit unclear on the concept of a "swimming" pool, as the first thing he did was throw every single toy he could find in the back yard into his pool until it was completely full, and then proceeded to throw every single toy back out onto the grass. No wonder his swimming classes aren't going so...swimmingly.
