Ollie has become quite the little water baby and loves his pool time. He swims nearly every day, and a lot of days he will actually swim more than once during the day. He's great at holding his breath, he likes to "dive" to you, and Matt and I can throw him to each other across the pool and he thinks it's all great fun. Since we have been getting ready for Lake Powell we've also been working with him on actually kicking and trying to swim. He makes progress every day. The one thing he HATES though is when we try to float him on his back. I'm the one that gives into his crying and makes Matt stop because it feels like he is being tortured. But all in all, he never seems to get scared and keeps coming back for more, always ready to jump in!
Which makes it hard for him on Sunday's. Today he took it especially hard when I found him at the back door begging for the "Pool!"
Trying to explain to a one and a half year old why he can't go in the pool because it's Sunday is a lot of fun! And I have to admit his little temper tantrum made me laugh, poor guy!
