Leif was a lot easier to deal with in the pool today. He didn't insist on clinging to me like a little monkey the whole time. I think the pool party on Saturday really helped get him used to the idea of being in the water.

He did, however, scoot himself along the wall, saying "Leifr monkey water!" (Leifr is a monkey in the water!)

shanasuer - he's now trying to shove Mariel and I together by the necks. I am amused. Rather indiscriminate little guy.

I'm so glad he's learning. It makes the idea of spending lots of time in the pool this summer much more appealing. (The idea in general is very appealing, but doing so with a little monkey attached permanently to my waist is a little not.)

He was also doing a good job of doing floaty kicks on the steps, and 'jumping' off the wall and into our arms. probably a week of solid pool time and he'll be swimming okay. certainly he is already all right with independent play in the pool

Given the summer we're likely to have, water time will be good for both of you I think. *grin*

Still searching for that ideal partially shaded pool...

Hopefully with a hot tub nearby in case it gets chilly at night.

I'd offer mine but there is neither shade nor hot tub. *shrugs*

The shade is crucial. Otherwise I get all sunburned and headachy. If it weren't for the shade thing, I'd just take over Blanche's pool.

Maybe I should just get an umbrella.
