A time of firsts

Today we went to the neighborhood pool and it was Tye's first time in the pool. Needless to say it was an interesting experience. We went with some of our good friends the Monney family. They have a son that is one month older than Tye and a daughter that is 2 years old. I don't know what we did for entertainment before we had kids but it was a riot to say the least.

First, we had to lather Tye up with super duper sun screen....the kind that actually makes you whiter after putting it on because we did not want him to get sunburned. Then he had to wear his hat the entire time so that his little bald head would not get burned. Lastly, the most important thing to remember when you take you baby to the pool...... make sure he has a SWIM DIAPER ON !!!!!!!!!!!

Yes, we found out the hard way that babies don't care where they poop. At some point during Tye's relaxing time playing in his newly acquired floating fire engine, he felt the urge to relax his bowels and make a deposit in his, not so absorbent swim diaper. Of course we were unaware of this event and upon lifting him out of the water, I noticed that, the water dripping from his new board shorts was not clear like the rest of the water in the baby pool.

We quickly addressed the situation and changed the newly soiled diaper. It was quite a clean up process in the back of our car. But all in all Tye had a wonderful experience during his first swim at the public pool.

We have included a video of Tye paddling around in the new float and also a video of him rolling over. Yet another mile stone in our child's life. Until next time.......

Man, those videos are great! I was laughing out loud, watching those two in the pool! And Tye rolling over so effortlessly is great!

I really enjoyed the playday today, even though Josiah slept through the whole thing! It definitely was more for me than for him!
