Today I took the kiddoes up to Lifetime Fitness to go swimming and get showered so Dale could get some rest (he wasn’t feeling totally chipper today). Jonathan had a lovely time and found someone to play with pretty quickly—a girl about his age or slightly older, whom I think started splashing him first. They kept that going for quite some time until we had to get out.
Kayleigh, on the other hand, was over the moon at first with delight until she briefly got cold and then tried to walk into the pool at about 1-1/2 feet deep from the side. She was underwater for about 3 seconds before her legs found the bottom and she stood upright, but she didn’t think much of being on her own in the pool after that and clung to me like a little limpet.
We ended up having a good time—Jonathan came and bounced up and down with us in the deeper water, and when Kayleigh realized she could kick her little legs and splash her Na-na (her word for Jonathan) with her hands, she giggled quite a bit. All in all it was a fun afternoon.
