Splish Splash!

For her first birthday, Eleni received an inflatable kiddie pool from one of her generous friends! She brought it with her on a visit to Lizzy's house. The water was a little cold, but Eleni managed to convince her elders to tote buckets of warm water from the shower to add to her pool. Ridiculous but true!



At first, unsure:



Aunt Lizzy gives a splashing demonstration:



Looks like fun! I'll try it:



When the water was warm enough for Her Highness, she got in:



Oh man, this is great!! What was I waiting for?



Jolly grins:




Come on in, the water's fine!



Handy hide-and-seek bucket:



Note to self: no pet fish for Eleni...she likes to throw them out of the water. 



Sleepy girl:



Not pictured here: the poopy water after we stupidly took off her (loaded) swim diaper while Eleni stood in the pool, the 45 minute tantrum during her bath afterwards, and the messy watermelon-eating at lunchtime. 

What a fun day!

Oh I adore "come on in the water's fine!" ... do you remember those turtle pools we used to have as kids? Maybe not Liz - you had a real pool!

Keep 'em coming! Love this kiddo!
