The pool is open and ready for business! Here are Harper's first splashes of the year, and my favorite, the girls doing a food dance in their bathing suits. They work up quite an appetite swimming and food makes them endlessly happy while we are there!
Our time at the pool usually consists of Lucy screaming "I'm swimming! Look, mom! I'm swimming." Her version of swimming is kicking and paddling, usually while walking across the pool. She will also float around with a kickboard to "swim". She is getting closer to swimming, if she would just be confident. The rest of the time she is asking for me to "catch her" while she jumps like a loon into the water. This is definitely her favorite part of swimming.
Harper, on the other hand, hangs close to dry land. She prefers splashing in a bucket of water. She also likes to walk over to the edge and throw things in the water that she expects me to pick up immediately to hand back to her so that she can repeat about 30 times. Lately she has added pouring water over head with the watering can and dunking her naked baby doll in the bucket head first.
