The pool doesn't allow inflatables, so no blow up water wings for us. I ended up order these Puddle Jumper wings instead. We love them! I don't have to worry about where Ian is in the pool...they totally keep him afloat! (Of course, I still stay with him and watch him, but if I happen to blink for more than a second, I know he is safe!)
In fact, Ian loves them so much, he wanted to wear them at breakfast the other day.
He wore them while he was checking Mommy's e-mail.
He wore them while playing in the living room.
And he wore them while playing with all his stuffed animals in his crib (a daily game around here).
The next day, he found my swim suit top and brought it to me. I was about to have to leave for work, so I told him I couldn't wear it right then. Undeterred, he sat down, held it up again, and lifted his feet. I realized he wanted to wear it! I had no problems with that. He didn't have to go to work! It was so funny to watch him wear my swim suit top around the house. I didn't realize how big it would look on him!
All that Puddle Jumper, tankini top wearing paid off! We got to go swimming again! (Haha - we go almost every day!) We really love the pool. And it's nice to be able to sit in the shade and take a break for snack time.
After snack, Ian lined up his flip-flops in the rungs of the lounge chair. Good place to store them while we swam more!
Little buddy, I am loving getting to spend our summer swimming together at the pool! Maybe Daddy will get to come with us soon and take a video of us singing, "If you're happy and you know it, blow some bubbles!" You blow such good bubbles!
