One of our local fitness clubs invited us to spend a free day with them (how thoughtful!)-- so Christian and Gramsy and I went to try out the pool! At first he was a little hesitant-- taking everything in with much seriousness. But pretty soon he warmed up (literally) and decided that he was born to be part fish.... either that, or he was having fond memories of the womb! He especially loved floating on his back and holding on to the barbell (which he kept calling a 'ball'). When we first arrived, we tried out the baby pool, where he discovered a beach ball floating around -- he couldn't have cared less about the water and all that was around him-- he just wanted that ball! After a few minutes of ball time, we decided the big pool was much warmer, and much more conducive to actual swimming. I don't know who enjoyed the "first swim" more-- him or me or Gramsy. We were all very excited-- and now looking forward to the outdoor pool this summer at Allison Wonderland. Hopefully that water will warm up quickly!

I was more excited than he was...
