Water Fun

Our trips to the pool haven't slowed down much as the summer heat has ramped up. Strangely, the froggy shaped slide in the neighborhood's baby pool has lost its appeal for Reese. She will go up the stairs and throw toys down the slide, but she refuses to go down it herself. This change has come on rapidly and it didn't' follow any traumatic experience so I'm stumped.

In addition to the pool, we're trying to add a few other water experiences to our repertoire, including the fountains at the Domain shopping center. So far, Reese has only visited them twice, but they were a definite hit for her. On our first visit I let her run through them in her clothes, on our second visit we met with her buddy Reed and I brought her swim suit. We're hoping to try the splash park at Brushy Creek soon also. We took Reese there one time last year, but it was before she could walk, and mommy and daddy bore the brunt of the water play more than she did.
