We took the kids to the family swim in our community on Saturday night. Kaylin came along and took pictures for us. It went better than I expected. Peter just LOVES the water!!! He told Robin that he wasn't allowed to go the pool without him.
It's so funny to watch Peter because he's in constant motion the entire time. He seems totally oblivious to the people around him. He tells us, "Watch me. I swim like a dolphin." And then he jumps off and splashes around.
As soon as we arrived he saw the slide. It's not big and could easily be in somebody's back yard pool so he decided to try it. Robin was in the water to "catch" him but when his head popped back up he said, "That was not fun!" We chuckled. Apparently he didn't like the feeling of going down so far in the water. Maybe next week.
We gave ourselves a time limit of 1 hour and Gaelle sat on the side of the pool for about 45 minutes. She splashed us when we came by but she would not come with us in the water. She didn't want a life jacket and she DID NOT want to be in our arms. A couple of times she started to slide her legs in the water, but then she quickly scooted out again.
Eventually she got her nerve up and she slid into my arms and away we went. She clung to me but she would lean over and dip her head into the water. She will get the hang of it pretty soon and I think she'll love the pool.

Your indoor community pool looks AWESOME!!!! Wish we had something like that in our area! We really need to join the YMCA ... but their pools look nothing like this - just a basic lap pool - no fun stuff!
Your children are TRULY blessed by you and Robin!! And their older siblings! : )
