Splish Splash

As Mason's potty training reward, he opted to go swimming instead of to Lagoon. We spent a few hours there Saturday morning and both kids had a blast. Mason jumped off the diving board by himself a couple of times--it was the first time he'd ever gone off a diving board, so we were really surprised (and proud). Unfortunately I didn't have the camera out and we couldn't get him to do it again, so I don't have a photo. He also went down the water slide a couple of times on his own. Dan went down first and waiting to catch him at the bottom. His face is so funny in the photos.



Tristyn didn't want to get into the water, but I set her on the 6" edge and let her kick her feet around and she was fine with that. A little later we ran in and out of the really shallow end and she thought that was fun. It didn't take long before she was tuckered out and needed a nap.

Mason doesn't do well with the hourly pool checks and we have to fight him to stay out of the water every time. Lately he has wanted to give money to people, so we let him give money for an otter pop to keep him occupied during one of the checks. It's also a battle to get him out of the pool to go home. It's all about bribing . . . this time it took an ice cream cone.

Great job on being potty trained, Mason! We're so proud of you!
