the 'big pool'

I joined my neighborhood's private pool for the summer. Today, I took Drake for the first time. It took about 25 minutes of sitting on the steps for him to warm up, but soon he was in my arms splashing around. It was so fun! It was refreshing, being a new experience for him. He's never been in a pool larger than his medium sized baby pool with a built-in slide. I was afraid it'd take days or weeks for him to brave the deep, but he eased right on in today.
I'm really proud. :) The next step is to get him to put on his swimmies. He thinks they're kind of weird right now, and I can't blame him. ha.
