This week Addie, Drew, and I went to visit Aunt Kelli's pool and spend the afternoon with her. Addie was very excited about going to a new pool with Jason's Kelli. Addie had a blast at the huge community pool, even though, when we got to the pool, Addie started stripping out of her swimsuit because she saw a playground. Got to love this girl. After telling her the playground was closed for the day, Addie was off to the water for some fun in the sun. I will have to say it is weird going to the pool and swimming while your two month old is snoozing away in the shade. Even though I could see him while I was in the pool it just feels like abandonment. Aunt Kelli helped out a lot with the juggling of two kids at the pool. We were a great tag team. I think the highlight moment of the day was Addie getting out of the pool and peeing on the concrete. I guess it is better than going in the pool.
Addie loved the water mushroom.
She told me, "Headder's" pool doesn't have one of these.

Addie did have a moment of strong "willedom" when I announced it was time to leave. When I told her it was time to go, she did her best swan dive into the pool. Addie did this because she knew mama was dry and thought I would not get in... she was wrong!!! I will say there were tears but Addie handled it really well and I was proud we didn't leave the pool kicking and screaming! Instead she pulled herself together, changed her clothes, and walked to the car saying, "That was fun! We come back."
Small steps every day in the quest to contain her stubborn strong willed ways.

That's cool Addie is wearing her inner tube and enjoying the water spraying mushroom. It looks like she is having lots of fun!
