floaties!

Little and I went to the pool for the first time this season! I was so anxious for it to open, and I knew it would give us a lot more to do in the hot afternoon. And can I just tell you? It's HOT already.

Steven did not like floaties last year, so I was hesitant to even try them this year. He loves being in the big pool, but doesn't want to wear anything, sit in anything, and he doesn't like me holding him. Guess what that equals? Baby under water. Not acceptable. So I busted them out again and....

Success!! (I was right there, by the way. A nice neighbor friend took these pictures, so I was close to him, but wanted to show off what a big boy he is.)

It's SO NICE now, being able to just stand there next to him while he kicks and paddles instead of fighting with him while he screams "Down Mama!" not knowing what "down" would mean. He still loves the baby pool, too (or the "play pool" as I call it so he doesn't get all "I no baby, I big boy" on me).

YAY for summer!
