July is Warm so pool time!
Michael kept developing fevers after swimming at the local YMCA last month. Our neighbor with a pool has graciously allowed us to use it whenever we want. To Steven that means everyday and Michael is in complete agreement. Michael LOVES the water. I have been trying to teach him to float on his back as a safety measure. He can do it, but he keeps turning over to belly and hasn't figured out how to flip back. When we are holding him, he tries to push out of our arms to go forward, BUT he doesn't close his mouth so ends up with water going in the wrong places. Doesn't stop him at all. No fear. Now I understand why drowning is the number one accidental death in children besides MV accidents. We shall just keep on trying and feel good about it being the neighbors pool behind a locked gate and not a body of water in our own yard. He hasn't figured out we have a pond yet (can't get to that part of the yard crawling) and will need to drain in before he does. Ha
