Splash Pool!

Every baby needs his own pool, right?  After watching Timmy open his birthday presents, I literally ran straight out to get one for Jonah.  We found this great little (but not too tiny!) inflatable pool big enough for Jonah to splash around (a little bigger than the tub) with wide tubes that he can climb/pull up on without letting all the water out, and an inflatable bottom for cushiony comfort.


I set it up during morning nap and let the water warm in the sun.  When Grandmama took Jonah outside in the afternoon, he was immediately interested.  He leaned to splash his hands and struggled to climb right in.  Naturally, he ended up soaked so we just took off his wet stuff and let him go to town!  The air had grown quite a bit cooler, but it felt like bathwater, so Jonah didn't mind.  He splashed with great enthusiasm as if to share the joy of being wet with Mommy and Grandmama.  Perhaps next year (next week?) we can try the slide and sprayer features, too!
