So, Noah got invited to his first pool party of the summer (also the first pool party of his life, lol). Since Dustin had to help his dad, I thought I'd leave Livi at daycare and take the ol boy with me to have fun at the pool. Having two kids that can't swim and just me to watch them freaked me out a bit!
I thought it'd be all fun and games until Noah figured out that it was fun to JUMP into the pool and let momma catch him. Not so fun, let me tell you. I didn't even get to visit with any of my friends because it was so scary to keep watch on little Bub. We get to do swim lessons at the Fun Forrest Pool in July, but that didn't help me in this situation. Noah wants to "get down", but once I let go, he freaks out! So scary.
"Look mama, I want to swim!!!"
"Ready??? One, Two, Trreee!!!"
My friend who has taught her kids to swim told me to let go of Noah and let him come back up. But I get freaked out because going under water freaks Bub out too. I do think this is how you learn to swim, but wow, I never knew how scary it was. Having a little life in the palm of your hands can freak anyone out. Anyhow, we had a good time (no one drowned) and left early so I could get a nap before work. Turns out, the little Bub didn't want to sleep. We had a good time playing and talking, but it left me really sleepy for work. Oh well...the memories that we make in life are what's important.
