My Little Fish

When I was 2 1/2 my parents put in a pool at my childhood home.  Every summer day that I can remember was spent at the pool.    My cousins and friends came over to swim and every youth event at church {we lived down the street from my childhood church} felt like it was held there.

I loved having a pool.

When my parents moved to our farm when I was 17 they put in a pool there.  And while, yes, I’ve used it some, it’s nothing compared to when I was little and spent every waking moment splashing around.

That all changed once I had a baby.

Last summer we spent some time in the pool, but this summer?  Well, let’s just say MM’s swimmies {or “water wings” as so many call them} have been well used!

And it seemed only fitting that since yesterday was the last day of our summer break here that we spent it at the pool.

She’s been practicing swimming back and forth between two people.  And jumping off the side {into someone’s arms}.  And kicking her feet.  And holding her breath/closing her mouth when she “swims”.  I’m really proud of how far she’s come this summer.

And since it stays hot here for, ohhhh, the next six weeks {at least} we will be spending plenty more days at the pool!
