I love splashing!



I took Sawyer to the Mountlake Terrace Pool today and who knew we had a little swimmer on our hands. We met a few friends from PEPS, Jennifer with Beavanni, and Michaela with Vera. I started Sawyer out in the little floaty toy but he kept leaning forward and drinking the water. Eventually he laid back and played with a tiny beach ball. He was all smiles even though he was pretty short on naps today. Then I decided to take him out and try "swimming". He demonstrated how he could splash, and he immediately copied me. He got really excited and kept splashing and moving his legs as if he was crawling in the water for the next 30 minutes. We stayed so long the lifeguard had to kick us out. I was really surprised because the first two months of Sawyer's life he screamed through his baths. We realized he was much calmer showering with Hani, so he hasn't had a bath for months. Apparently he has abandoned his newborn apprehension of the water and is ready to go full force. I think we are going to have get him to the tub and fast!
