First Day at the Pool!

Its been nice the past few days and I finally managed to pull it all together enough for Fletcher and I to make our first visit to the pool!
Swim diaper? Check.
Cute 'Cars' floatation device? Check.
Sunhat, sunglasses, SPF 50 swimwear? Check.
Towels, diaper bag, pool pass? Check.
Cellphone, keys, and finally Fletcher? Check, check, and double check.
And we are off!

He was not a fan of the cold water, much like his Mommy. After he acclimated however he ceased wailing long enough to realize he was floating in a nifty little balloon and proceeded to check it all out.
I introduced him to the water jets which tickled his feet, we bobbed around and explored the deep end, the shallow end, and the volleyball net, and I showed him how to 'honk' his horn for his car...boat...floaty thing.
After a dip in the pool we thought we would take it easy for a little bit and have a good lounge. I caught some sun, Fletcher caught some shade. Cute little swimsuit is it not? He is about to outgrow it and he's only been in it once...figures.
I got him out of the floaty for a little bit and took a turn or two around the shallow end with him. As you can see by his expression he is not quite sure what to make of the entire affair. He looked a little irritated and concerned at the same time. I imagine repeat visits to the pool will encourage a change in his attitude about it, at least, Mom can hope ;0)
