Dippin'

We took Emerson swimming for the first time this past weekend.  Going into it, Caleb and I both expected him to cry.  I figured we’d only be at the pool for about 15 minutes.  He loves bath time, but a pool is much colder than his warm bath. 

So, we lathered him in sunscreen and got him all decked out in his cute trunks that Nana got him.

Then we headed to Wilson Park’s pool for their opening night.  It was pretty warm outside, but we went at about 6 at night, so it wasn’t blazing hot.  Caleb eased him into the water and to our surprise there were no cries!  We ended up staying in the water for about 30 minutes!  We were all a little pruney by the time we left.  Emerson had a lot to look at and stayed content the whole time.  I would even venture to say that he enjoyed himself at points!  He was the  cutest little guy in the pool.  He slept really well that night, too.  I think “swimming” wore him out.

Here is a pic from a recent bath.  Our little duckie!
