The Kiddos' First Pool Experience

Written by Jodi

Yesterday (June 1) we headed to the Canterberry Crossing neighborhood pool for a dip--the first for the babies! Grandpa Bill and Todd had been working in the back yard all day and needed a good cool down. We dressed the babes in their new swimming duds from their Aunt Mirta, who had just visited from Brazil a couple of weeks ago.

I had Zara in my arms and Todd had Roman--and typcial of moms and dads everywhere, I was careful with Z and Dad took the manly approach, dipping Roman into the water all the way up to his chest immediately! This did not go well for the poor little guy, as he panicked!






Zara tends to be a big splasher in the bath tub and the pool was no different! She loved it. I think it helped to ease her in little by little.


It was so nice to see Baby Z enjoying her self so much! Just exactly the kind of thing I was dreaming of when we were in the hospital with her. Grandpa Bill took some video footage as well of our time yesterday. They are all pretty brief, all posted on http://www.youtube.com/user/jodimhorner. Here is a favorite:
