He swims

So this past week we purchased a small pool for Justin.  $10 at the local C. Tire store.

Filled it with 3 inches of water.

Let the wonderful hot weather we are currently experiencing heat the water nicely.

Today Justin went swimming.  I stripped him down outside and just dumped him in.  (after of course checking that water was indeedy warmed up)    This little 11 month old boy had SO MUCH FUN!!!!   Made his mom-mom laugh.   I had purchased some sand toys a while back on sale, and I dumped half of them into the water with him.   Splash and dump and attempt to drink.  Boy.... you couldn't have asked for more fun. 

AND THEN>>>> he learned that he>>>>> could climb out!   WOW!!!   more fun!!!!   more excitement!!!!  More screams of AHH!!!!!

Later today he might experience the joy of bike riding too.    Justin and I picked up a bike seat for him while garage-saling this morning and then hubbie and I picked up a toddler bike helmet for him this afternoon.  He was unimpressed at the store (he HATES wearing anything on his head).  So we'll see how that goes.
