swimming... no way
ok, that didn't work too well. the water was only in the pool for about 2 hours, still toooo coooollldddd. she'd hang out by the edge and splash, but wouldn't get in. i put her in and she'd stand there looking at me with this pained look on her face... yikes.
we'll try again later. maybe next time i'll fill it up in the morning and let it warm all day?
or, i could empty the hot water tank by hooking up a hose to our kitchen faucet? now that seems silly ;)
or, i could just throw her and and make her get used to it?
or, i could start giving her cold baths in the bathtub - now THAT'S an idea!
(just a note, you are seeing sweet pea in her bathing suit - no making fun of her thighs... we happen to think they are cute... and i hear she may lose the roles when she starts walking!!! we can only hope.)

So sweet. Thanks for sharing your family with us. Keep the updates coming. We miss you guys.
such a cutie. i love the thighs! :) i actually tried to hook up our hose to the faucet but it didn't fit. so i took 2 large pans and filled it about 1/4 of the way with hot water and then the rest with the cold water. it seemed to appease her.
Why would you want to lose those thighs?? I LOVE baby thighs!!! I'm depressed that Sweetie Pie is already starting to cruise a little and those yummy chunky thighs are on the way out. Sigh.
As for the pool, I found that when you leave it out all day to warm, it merely fills up with yuckiness (dead bugs, floating leaves, etc.). Plus, unless you have a fenced in yard, it is considered a bit of a hazard (not to be a downer). Best thing is to just let her splash in it now, and then next summer when she's walking, she won't care about the cold, most likely, and she'll be able to stand in it to play.
xxxooo!
