Now that we've finally opened it and cleaned it up, Chase absolutely LOVES going in the pool.
The first time Chase and Daddy went in was June 9. We want Chase to get used to wearing a life vest on the pool deck and he happily obliged, but insisted on wearing his Elmo rain boots.
Check out this outfit...
The water was still pretty cool
but Chase went in and got Daddy in.
They practiced kicking and splashing
Chase's favorite part is being thrown up in the air. It's a good workout, too.
A few days later, Chase convinced Mommy to swim with him
He also loves jumping in the pool....1....2...3...JUMP!
(although he doesn't always wait, so Mommy and Daddy need to be ready at all times)
We try to practice some kicking every time we are in.
Every time he goes in, he gets a little more adventurous...
His favorite part of the raft is leaning to the side and falling off.
(Daddy's not even holding on in this picture!)
Since it's been so hot the past two days, Chase has been going swimming every day. Sometimes he's less interested in the swimming than "mowing" (vacuuming with a fun noodle) the pool and he definitely enjoys taking the water out.
Chase is doing a great job exploring the water. He loves to jump off the side and be thrown in the air, and doesn't mind getting his face wet as a result of these activities. Yesterday he went for a ride on Daddy's back around the pool and practiced floating.
Its going to be a great summer!
