This summer flew by and I am still in denial that fall is here. It was a gorgeously mild summer, which at any other time probably would have been wonderful. However, we had pool passes and there were just too many days this summer when we would go outside and it wasn't 'pool' weather. When it was hot enough to go Marissa was thrilled. She took a swimming class during which I found she could be bribed to do just about anything. She was not crazy about the idea of putting her head in the water, but after promises of 'big' treats she was brave enough to try. When she would do it I would cheer her and praise her and she would get so excited, almost giddy, to the point where she would dunk her head repeatedly and come up with a huge grin on her face. She did a great job in her class and loves to go swimming!
After Marissa started dunking her head, we went to the pool with little fountains in them and she loved running straight through them!
While Grandma Johnson was here we went to the pool. However, it was one of those mild summer days where it just wasn't hot enough to swim. Obviously, that did not bother Marissa.In fact, she loved it because she had the whole toddler pool and all the toys to herself!
Marissa loves things that are "just her size" and at the pool they had smaller lawn chairs for kids that she thought were pretty neat!
