Pool Season!

Dresden had his first kiddie pool day of the season this past Sunday! I can't believe summer is almost here again. He loved his little pool last summer, so I was interested to see what he'd think this time. At first, he was cautious and skeptical, kind of like he is with most new, unknown situations. So far, Dresden is not really one to dive into things with reckless abandon (unlike his far more impulsive, impetuous mother). With trepidation, he finally allowed me to pick him up and stand him in the pool, provided I was standing in there with him. And then, as if galvanized by the cold shock of the water, his love for the pool seemed to come rushing right back, and the fun began!

Splashing never gets old!

Neither does laughing at your splash victims (aka, me)

It took him a long time to actually sit down in the water. But then it was only a matter of time til he was sticking his face in it and attempting to snort it up his nose blow bubbles in it, and eat the grass that had fallen in (why that is an appealing activity, we may never know).

 

He may have been pensive here. Or he may have just gotten water up his nose...

With ever the flair for melodrama (that, he DID get from yours truly), 

upset for having temporarily discomfited himself from splashing like a spastic maniac. 

(There is still some work to be done on the 'cause and effect' concept!)

Well, that passed. In we go again!

Here's to kiddie pools and splash fights! Let the Texas infernal seventh-circle blaze summer begin!!!

Love,

Cassie
