I told you that I’ve been avoiding the pool this year. I figure it will be at least 6 years before I can relax comfortably in a pool again. Milo can finally touch the bottom and he is turning 6 in September. Swimming with a toddler is more stress/ less enjoyment for me right now.
She doesn’t like the water much.
She prefers to hang precariously on the ladder, causing the girls to scream, “MOM! She’s about to fall in.” It’s hard to relax at the pool with hysterical overprotective big sisters.
They finally coaxed her in.
And took turns swimming her around. Meanwhile Milo showed me all he’d learned this year. How to jump in and go under water, how to float on his back.
Mr. Darcy thought the water looked very tempting.
This dog actually enjoys a bath. I can spray him down with the hose outside and wash him without even holding onto him.
After 10 minutes in the water, Tess felt she’d experienced it to the fullest. She was out again trying to fall off the ladder.
It’s not even worth putting on a swimsuit. We were back inside in dry clothes within 20 minutes.
Maybe next year.
