Or, in Reegan's case, maybe neither. :) I couldn't resist grabbing my cell phone today and taking this picture so I can remember this summer and how our swimming escapades went. Reegan always wants to go swimming but does not care for the water - especially in her face. She never has liked getting her hair washed - water in her eyes or ears - bathtime is no fun with her! The pool we usually goes to has steps that she usually parks herself on and spends her time in shallow water with no fear of getting her face wet. The other day was the first time she let me take her hands and pull her around the pool - with floaties, of course - and she held her nose and put her face in the water!! She was so proud. :)
Today, Nikki asked if we wanted to go with her to Kirk's parents house and swim. The kids thought it sounded fun - only one problem - it's an above ground pool which means there is only one depth and no steps to sit on. So, I made sure we had plenty of floatation devices and, as you can see, I think Reegan used every single one! But she was in - even though it took a little while to get her to this point she had a lot of fun. We're thinking we may have to go back a time or two before school starts next week.
