Parenthood - 2010-06-30 Maria's first swim

June 30, 2010

Cousin Maria went swimming for the first time today! She's a water baby just like her ~~two cousins~~ big sister and cousin Ed. Note: Oops - apparently I'm too used to writing about Elizabeth!. They had a grand time splashing around with pool noodles and macaronis.

Erika likes to get out of the pool and jump back in with a big splash. Elizabeth likes to do whatever Erika does. So I should have seen it coming when Elizabeth signed that she wanted to get out. Luckily I caught her on the way back in!

Mommy decided swimming time was over long before Elizabeth did. The pool is heated much more than a city pool but Elizabeth was so blue and shivery after a while that I thought it would be a good idea to go warm up. Maybe we'll have to consider a thermal swimsuit or at least a t-shirt for swimming at the cottage.

I think you meant just like her sister and her cousin?
