Swimming Pool Fun
Abby and Zoë have been waiting and waiting to be able to go in the pool at Uncle Marc and Aunt Cyndi's house. Nonna was at work this morning, so we just hung around the house playing with the Dora house and with the memory match game that Nonna got for the girls. Daddy even took them on the swing set that Nonna's neighbor said we could go use. While Zoë was still napping in the afternoon, Daddy and Abby walked across the road to the slate dumps.
Nonna got home around 5:00 and we went right up to the pool, where Auntie Elizabeth, Heather, Bill and the kids were already having a good time. First Abby and Zoë tried going in just with me, then Zoë got an innertube, which she did well with. Abby tried out the noodle, but was still nervous for me to let go of her so then she got a different innertube and swam around with that for a long time. Zoë got out and put on a little swimsuit with built in floaters in it, and swam all over with that on, she stayed in the pool for quite a while having a great time after getting that on, esecially when Daddy put on arm floaties too. Abby got brave and jumped in to me a couple of times, letting me stand back so that she went under and then I scooped her right up. After the third time of going under and either getting water in her nose or down her throat, she decided to be done and wrap up in a towel with Nonna. We'll have to take smaller steps to working on the whole timing of breath holding and such.
After we were all out of the pool, Abby and Zoë took off into the grass with Cassie and Sarah, raking up cut grass and putting it in a little wheel barrow, then putting it in the barrel. Pretty soon Bill came with pizzas, so we all had a little dinner. I got my hands on little Eli again once I was done eating, and when Zoë was done eating she wanted to come check him out. She asked me in the cutest high pitched voice, "Can I touch his little feetsies?" It wasn't long before all of the kids were done eating and ready to go run in the grass together. Sarah found a stick and was holding races, it was funny to watch. Everyone kept commenting on how fast and what good running posture Abby has. She did look like a little sprinter. Pretty soon the girls were tuckered out and it was time to get home and get a bath before bed.
Abby @ 3 years, 7 months, 15 days
Zoë @ 3 years, 7 months, 15 days
Enzo expected in 1 year, 1 month, 25 days
