Wm went swimming today and he had the best day yet! He went all the way out and explored until the water reached his chin while he stood on his tippy toes. And he rode on Daddy's back and we played a strange version of swimming tag. In fact, we went to the pool both yesterday and today! Mimi is making strides with getting Wm more comfortable in the water. Our pool is awesome - and FREE. We pay $1 for a "leisure card" and then the pool is totally free forever after. It's remarkably nice for being totally free...and hasn't been crowded either time we went. We will be back often! Wm has managed to con Mimi into getting him popcorn both days and me into cotton candy today. He is a master con artist - it's the baby blues...they can't be denied. (Wm even has a name for it; he says, he's giving you "his cute eyes" and makes them all big and bats his eyelashes. He knows exactly what he's about.)
After we left the pool, we went over to the playground next door. Wm said he had to pee, but there aren't any potties. So I go, "well, bud, you can either hold it until we get home or sneak into those trees over there." Into the trees Wm went. Then, he hasn't figured out how to just take out the necessary bits, so I look over and see his whole tiny butt flappin' in the wind. He sees me looking at him, chagrined, and calls out nervously, "I hope Santa isn't seeing this!"
I don't take my phone to the pool so I don't have to worry about it being stolen, but here are some pre-swim shots I got of Wm in his swim attire:
