After Ava turned one, we started taking her to the pool. She wasn't a fan so I put her in swimming lessons... Which she hated for the most part.. Since then we have occasionally gone to the pool, but it usually means we are just sitting on the edge with our feet in. I know it shouldn't have been frustrating, but it was. In Feb we got her to play a little in the pool, but beyond that no success. I really tried hard to encourage her and show her it was fun. It only seemed to make things worse and she wold have a tantrum. So I decided to let her go at her own pace. Guess what? As soon as I did make or encourage her to get in the pool. She got in. We are going to pretend like it was all my hard work the convinced her it was fun. Needless to say, I was one proud Mama!
Her wanting to get in the pool!
Once she started getting in the water we bought her this life jacket. She picked it out! This was at the lake this past weekend.
On the fourth we went to a pond in Farmington. The water was perfect. So we let her swim. We weren't planing on swimming. It a spur of the moment kind of thing.
She sits like this all the times and says "I am relaxing". I just love it! It makes me smile
All ready to go!
She loves to float!
This doesn't look comfy... but she was this way most of the time on the day this picture was taken.
I love that Ava has decided she likes swimming, we go almost everyday. I am not complaining, I haven't been this tan since I had her.
