It's Pool Time ...

For his birthday, the kid got a super cute 'pool' for the yard ... i love it because its very very shallow and has sprayers that stream water up so the kid can run thru it, play in the streams, and have a little mini pool too! its super cute and i was so anxious to try it out. we had it for weeks before we finally had a SUNNY nice day to break it out !!

And - he just wasn't sure what he thought about it... there was a lot of pointing and gibberish said...



But he wasn't so thrilled the closer he got ... especially if I wasn't right there by him ... which makes it hard to get photos, when you're in a pool with streaming water haha...



I got him to venture in and sit on his own in basically a puddle of water, once i turned the streams off...



so he splashed and played and finally started to relax and enjoy it... (after screaming about the streams of water lol)



and he's been enjoying it ever since! the more we've used it, the more adjusted he is to the water streams and sprayers and loves to play with it actually on now! But definitely still wants us right there in it with him. Husband does better on that than me, i do NOT deal well with cold water. ever. even if its 100 degrees outside! i'm such a wimp. i'm not a watergirl - never have been. i hated swimming lessons as a kid and remember those mornings of getting in the icey city pool for the dreaded lessons ugh. and i never learned a damn thing i was so cold! lol. So when we get in, i'm saying to the kid, come on its fun, see mommy LOVES it... in between my yelps when the cold water hit my skin lol... i'm not that convincing. i think i actually scare him haha. daddy does better;) MUCH better;)
