Big Fish


Buby readies to jump into the pool on the count of 3. Into Mama's arms, of course. He absolutely loves the water. Even Buby Land's freezing water. We will take a summer vacation from his weekly swim lessons and use our pool as often as possible. Tonight we worked on climbing out of the pool. Sitting patiently until Mama said okay. Jumping up and away from the side. Kick-kick-kick. Paddle-paddle-paddle. Bubbles. Throwing and retrieving the rubber fishies. Getting splashed in face. Closing mouth when head goes under. This one is huge for us! Buby has been in swim classes at the YMCA since he was just under 6 months old, but he still gets so excited at the possibility of a huge splash that he opens up big and wide each time his mouth hits the water. AHHHH! Gulp.
