Dinner Poolside

Every day Brady asks to go outside and I always feel like it is so hot. Today I picked him up from daycare with a bag packed for the pool. What an awesome and happy way to spend the evening! We played in the water and that took care of my "it's too hot" feeling. I couldn't get any pictures because we were both in the pool. Brady Loved jumping in. At first it freaked me out, but he kept asking "Jump? Jump?" and it was fun catching the little butterball!

Brady highjacked some kid's private swimming lesson. This boy (who was probably about 3) and his instructor were in the beach-entry part of the pool and the instructor was laying down and trying to get the boy to kick. Brady Loves "swimming" on his belly in the bathtub. So he laid down next to the lady and kicked away laughing. She was cracking up and said to her student, "Look- this little boy can do it. Can you do that?" We also played with the random pool toys other kids had brought and/or left there, including a paintbrush and bucket- which kept our little helper busy for some time.


We even had dinner poolside (although I don't think we were supposed to be eating on the pool deck- shh!) while the lifeguards went on break and cleared the pool for the last 10 minutes of each hour. Swimming sure does work up an appetite! :) And since there was no mess to worry about cleaning up, little man drank milk from his sippy cup sans lid. He loves to do this and think he's all big. I usually only allow it with water though because he spills. But today- we're at the pool and you're half naked anyway. Go for it dude! Give yourself a milk mustache! It was a perfect evening- so easy, so fun! Gotta love it!

Awesome! I hit the pool with Maya for an evening swim yesterday. We'll have to try to get the little ones together pool-side before the end of the summer :)

I love the 4th picture, of Brady sitting there with his bucket and his "cheese" face on! I want to blow raspberries on his belly!
