Water Boy

Yesterday Will went underwater.

On his own.

Twice.

And he thought it was funny!

Loli took him to the pool. He was sitting down with the water up to his neck which he loved...and then he saw a toy at the bottom of the pool in front of him. When he couldn't reach it, and went forward...underwater...to get it. Loli quickly pulled him up since it was suprising that he would just go underwater like that, and he just started laughing. When she put him in the water, he did it again.

I took him to the pool today and he loved it.  He loved walking around in the water, playing with other kids' toys, and standing up by the water falls.  He has no fear!

So my fears of having a kid who hated the pool/water park have subsided. Our first visit to the pool this year was spent opening and closing the gate for those coming in and out. Anytime I would put Will near the water, he would walk right back to the gate.

I am so thankful for the break through as there aren't many places besides the pool that I want to be when it is 100 degrees outside!
