First Pool Trip of the Summer

Eric and I took Carter down to our neighborhood pool yesterday for the first time this year. We had him in the pool some last summer, but he was only about 3 months old, so I wasn't sure how he would handle it. We started him off by setting him on the big, shallow step. He loved sitting and splashing in the water, just like he does in the bathtub. Then Eric got him in, and Carter absolutely loved every minute of it! Eric would toss him up in the air and catch him on the surface of the water. He loved all the splashing, and he even let Eric do a half dunk under the water. He did so good.... he didn't seem uncomfortable or afraid at all. And I'm glad because he is signed up for swimming lessons in July in preparation for our family trip to Grand Cayman in August. I'm relieved that he seems to be very comfortable in the water, and I think he'll really enjoy being in the pool this summer!
