oh such a perfect day...

... i'm glad i spent it in pools....

Poor Alexis has been feeling pretty rotten the past few days, with a slight cold, and her first top tooth coming through :-( so when today blossomed into a lovely sunny day, after a run of horrendous ones, i filled the paddling pool, piled it full of balls and set her loose! Her first paddling pool experience.. and it was a hit! She especially liked being able to get in & out whenever she liked, and also throwing the balls out for me to throw back in :-D

And while we're on the subject of pools, this is a pic from our last trip to the Mt Albert wave pools, a couple of days after her birthday :-D She's getting much more confident in the water, and is able to kick herself round a wee bit in her little ring!


Edited to add- I left the water in the paddling pool, but fenced it off so she couldn't get back in. Of course she broke through the gate, and started splashing the water with her hands, which i thought "thats ok, i'm watching her, she might just get a few splashes on her t-shirt.." mmhmmm... click here to see what happened next.. never trust the baby *sigh*
