So after we took Emma to the beach yesterday and today, we brought her to the pool. The condo here has a heated indoor pool that is great for introducing a little one to the pool, with the exception of all the chlorine. When we first started to put Emma into the float yesterday, she screamed bloody murder, which of course was magnified 10 times by being in an indoor pool. So Russell just carried her in the water and gradually got her used to feeling the water around her. Then he put her in the float, and she seemed to enjoy it. We put her in the float today, and it went much more smoothly. We even got some smiles out of her after pushing and pulling her around the pool in it. You'll see in the last picture that she likes playing with the water in her hands.
Russell's parents came down to the beach tonight, and Mary Jane (my MIL) is now giving Russell a run for his money...Emma chose Mama Jane over Russell SEVERAL times tonight. The rest of us who have been shunned by Emma in favor of Russell think it's great that he's getting a taste of his own medicine.
Tonight Emma's eyes were really red around the edges and watery after she woke up from her nap at 6:00. She got a little more chlorinated water in her eyes today than yesterday, so I'm hoping that's all it was.
As for last year:
