Pool

Emma has been so against the pool this summer. After our first visit to the pool a few months ago, I was so excited (as I believe I even mentioned in my blog) thinking we would live at the pool this Summer. But nope, sadly we've missed many fun pool and lagoon days with friends because this little 2 year old would rather take a nap, which she did one morning, before getting on her bathing suit! So you can imagine my excitement when last Friday afternoon she said, "YES", when I asked if she wanted to go swimming. And she loved it and promised to never turn down a pool offer again. She kept to that promise and we went as a family on Saturday. We had a great time...of course everything is better when daddy is there! They had a blast in the big pool together and she even dunked her head for the first time. The actual first time was an accident and I thought, great!! there goes the pool! But eventually she got over the initial scare of it and started to become more and more daring! Hopefully we can keep this up!

Go Emma!!! I'm glad she remembered that going to the pool is fun while you still have some warm weather. If I remember right from my youth, September is the hottest month in Cali.

She wouldn't turn down the pool if you lived here, that's for sure! We totally lived at the pool this summer, it made it go so much quicker and was much more bearable. Your pics are so cute- have a great time on your next outing!
