First Time in the Pool

When: Yesterday afternoon

Where: Beth and Eric's house

Details: We were invited to an early July 4th party yesterday and decided it was time to put Tali in the pool for the first time. We all thought she would love the pool because she loves the bath and has a great time splashing around. Boy were we wrong. She HATED it. H took her into the pool and as soon as her feet touched the water, she screamed. He kept her in for a minute or two, getting her wet up to her waist, but she still wasn't happy. Correction. She was miserable. She was screaming bloody murder! Perhaps the water was too cold for her? Or maybe the pool was too big and she was overwhelmed? Who knows. I've toyed with the idea of putting her in a swim class because she loves the bath so much. In the end I decided against it. I'm glad I did. At least she looked adorable in her bright green bathing suit speckled with pink flamingos!
