Cole's First Swim

 The kids have been to the pool a few times already this season, but I've felt like it's been a little too cold for Cole. It really warmed up today, so we thought we'd give it a try. 

He looks excited!

 Started slow.... with toes. He loved kicking his feet around

 Then we sat. He still seemed unphased. And the water was definitely chilly!

 Then he figured out that he could splash, which he loves to do in the bath tub.

Finally got all the way into the float, and this is where he stayed for the next 45 minutes, happy as a little clam!! :)

 Loving it!

 

 

He loved just laying back and watching the big kids, and also kicking his feet in the water. He did accidentally get splashed in the face once (not by a kid but by daddy, oops!) and that nearly did him in. But he recovered and got happy again for a while!

 Worst part was getting out and getting dry and changed. He hated that! And it didn't help that it was dinner time and he was hungry!

 Not thrilled with this part, but I guess I'll give a little smile.

The big kids were so happy to have Cole in the pool with them. And it was nice to have it all to ourselves for Cole's first swim. I'm thinking that when we have tons of other kids splashing about in the pool this summer, Cole won't be as relaxed. We went home after this and those 3 kids gobbled their dinner! I love that they always eat sooooo good after a swim! And they sleep good, too! :)
