Aside from some stress related to Mom leaving the room, I had a great day. Gramma and Papa filled a pool in the backyard for cousin Christopher and me to play in. What a blast! Mom was worried about the sun, so I was slathered with sunscreen. But after that, I was free to frolic in the water. Loved it! I even love the look I get with "product" in my hair. Mom should have put me in a swimming diaper, though, because between Christopher and I, our diapers soaked up about half the water in the pool. I don't know why she didn't use one, since she bought some for the trip. I guess she just wasn't sure why swimming diapers are important. Well, now we know. In spite of my case of NEDS (Needless Expanding Diaper Syndrome), I had a blast. Cousin Hannah joined us in the pool, keeping Mom on her toes to make sure I didn't get kicked or poked or splashed or squirted in the eye. She didn't need to worry so much, but this was my first time in the pool, and you know how parents can be about worrying. Hopefully she'll loosen up a little as the week goes on.
