Going Swimming . . . sort of

I guess you can call sitting in a plastic container of water "going swimming" but whatever you want to call it, Lucy can't get enough! (Neither can Baxter, but for different reasons as you'll see!) When we were at Target today, we used some of Lucy's birthday money from her Aunt Nae to buy her a little swimming pool. After naptime, we went outside to swim in our pool. At first, Lucy just sat there, staring at the water . . .I guess she was wondering why we were going to take a bath outside! :) Then Baxter came over to drink out of the pool which he LOVED!


After Baxter let us know it was ok, Lucy seemed to have a good time splashing and playing with her toys like she does in the bathtub. She didn't try to move around in the pool but she seemed to enjoy it just as much as the bath! I think her favorite part was watching Baxter run around the yard and then come back and get something to drink!

We only "swam" for about 15 minutes but already Lucy is pointing at the door and asking to go back out. I took her out and put her in the swing, but that isn't what she wants. I told her she would have to wait until she could show her Daddy tomorrow!
