Stude Pool

This evening, Daddy and I took Andrew to Stude Pool to try it out on our little quest to try out the nearby public pools. When we got there, the lifeguards were taking a break, but Andrew immediately wanted in the water and didn't understand that why he couldn't get in. Thankfully, we didn't have to wait too long before we could get in. It's such a difference from when Andrew didn't want anything to do with the pool and would whine when we took him in.

And there at the pool, they had a water mushroom and some water rings for the kids. Andrew pointed to them so we took him over. He didn't seem to like them much and wanted back in the regular pool. But I think he saw more and more kids go play over in that area that he wanted to try it again and started pointing towards it again. So, we tried it again. It was a hit this time around. He was running around following some other kids and was playing in the water letting it hit his face. Andrew hasn't been one to like water hitting his face like during showers--he's been getting better, but now it seems that he is more okay with it.

Andrew also tried to put his mouth on one of the rings to try to drink the water. We told him "no mouth". A lady who was with her kids was nearby and was trying to tell Andrew "no mouth" too. Well, he gave her the wag of the finger and a rather dirty look along with it. But later on, he kept wagging his finger at her; and she would do it back. He was laughing so much! They must have done it back and forth for several minutes. Andrew didn't want to go home--he just wanted to play with the lady. He is such a nut!!!

I am very happy that Andrew is liking the pool so much again. I knew he would...it was just a matter of time!
