Swimming and Sliding

This afternoon I took Elliot swimming. Our Community Center has a great kids pool. At first Elliot didn't know what to think but as time went on he got braver and braver. The pool starts out very shallow, but gets deeper the further you go in. Since Elliot doesn't walk yet he was crawling around in the pool. I tried telling him and stopping him from going to deep, but he got mad so I decided to let him discover for himself. He did end up crawling a little to far and got his face very wet, but he LOVED it!!!! There are lots of different fountains and things that spray and those were Elliot's favorite. He loved to be sprayed in the face. I think Elliot would have stayed for ever, but after swallowing about a gallon of water and quivering lips I decided that we needed to call it a day. I have been wanting to sign him up for swimming lessons, but wasn't sure if the water would be warm enough. Well he thought it was perfect, so we will be doing swimming lessons this summer.



It was another beautiful day so Elliot and I also went to the park behind our house this afternoon. We were lucky enough to see Elaina (Elliot's daycare provider, who lives one house over from us) so she got this picture of Elliot and I. Elliot loves the slide.
