Pool day in the snow

Dec 16 - I slept til about 8am. Daddy came in and got me from my crib. He didn't go into work today because he wasn't feeling great and didn't want to deal with traffic this afternoon from the snow we are supposed to get. He got me changed and handed me over to Mommy. After I ate, Mommy left me with daddy so she could get everything ready for the pool. That's right, today was a pool day. Mommy and Ms. Andrea had talked about going to the pool today during our playdate at the library. So we packed up, said goodbye to Daddy and headed to the pool. When we got there it had just started to flurry.

We got me changed into my swim trunks and looked around for Ms. Andrea. We didn't see her but we found Ms. Erin and Sam! We didn't know they were even coming. What a nice surprise. We walked out to the kiddie pool and there was Ms. Andrea and Noah and Ms. Dana and Caylee. I didn't know they were coming either. So we had the whole group together to swim. We had so much fun. I splashed around and played on the big snake. Sam and Noah played on the bottom of the slides. Caylee and I played on the ropes by the purple slide. Then Mommy and I showed off and went down the purple slide together so everyone could see how much fun I think it is. But even with all that moving around it still gets cold in the kiddie pool. So we all moved over to the therapy pool where it is so much warmer.

They have a bench against the wall so Sam walked along the wall. Noah relaxed and laid back against Ms. Andrea and Caylee just held on to her mommy. I did a little of all three. Mommy set up the camera on a timer while Ms. Andrea held me. Mommy hit the button, jumped in the pool, swam over to us, and held me all before the camera took the picture. Well, it took two tries.

Caylee, Noah and I were getting kinda tired so we said goodbye to Sam and Ms. Erin, since they wanted to stay, got our stuff, and went to the locker room to change. Mommy got ready while I banged on the bench in the middle of the room. Then she changed me into dry clothes and my snow suit. We got outside and it was snowing. It was so pretty. We said goodbye to Noah and Caylee and Mommy got me in the car with the heat on while she brushed the snow off the car. Then she brushed the snow off Ms. Erin's car so it wouldn't be too much when they decided to leave.

I was exhausted and slept the whole way home. Mommy didn't want to wake me up so she tried to carry me in the carseat inside. Unfortunately, as soon as she pulled the carseat out of the car and I got a little snow on my face I woke up. I was so tired so I told her how unhappy I was that I was awake. She fed me and I went back to sleep.

After my nap I was still a little cranky. I played a little and ate but I was still really tired. Mommy and Daddy gave me a bath to get all of the chlorine off of me. I played in the tub with my little ducks while Daddy read me the story of Pinocchio. Mommy dried me off and changed me for bed. I was asleep at 8:30pm! That is how tired I was.
