Zack still won't take a bath, so going to the pool is out of the question. He did try once, to play with the orange submarine but never went back. So you can imagine our surprise when last week he started to point at his shoes while looking at the swimsuit bag. He still can't talk (which is sometimes very frustrating) so even if the gestures indicated that he wanted to take his shoes off and put on his swimsuit, I only believed it when he started going down in the water. Of course, I didn't have my camera that day. But the miracle happened again !
As always, he wanted his dad.
What also surprised us, was how much he wanted to do like his siblings.
Swimming on your tummy:
Jumping:
Swimming on your back:
He tried the slide once, but I guess he didn't like it because that miracle did not happen again.
Oh well, going in is at least a first step. Thank you Julia and Kelden for setting the example :)
They too didn't like water when they were 2, and now, look at them in the pool: armed and dangerous !!
Yay for Zack! Will almost has the opposite problem. He LOVES water, but doesn't want to get in the swimming pool unless it is the little kiddie pools in our backyard. And Julia and Kelden look like they are pro swimmers now. Good for them!
