Summer Fun

This girls are as different as can be when it comes to their feelings about water. Becca loves the water. She does not fear it. She will try to drown herself at least once per visit, and the momentary fear I see in her eyes as she loses her balances and plunges into the water head first is never enough to stop her for one second. After just a few visits to the gym pool she learned to scoot into the pool, rather than crawl in. She could scoot a lot further than she could crawl. But once she started walking all she wanted to do was walk in and out of the pool and splash her sister. That is also a fun bath time trick. 

Bella on the other hand, is apprehensive about the water. Most bath nights start with a loud and whiny protest. And she does not like splashing or getting water in her eyes or on her head. A shower (she's had two) is like a slow torturous death to her.  Once she is in the water, she mostly enjoys herself, but it is not a glorious good time for her, like it is for Becca. 

This picture is from a church outing. We went to a city pool that had a splash park for the babies. Becca loved it. 

This picture is from the city water park. Bella really didn't care for it. Instead of playing in the water, she preferred to eat every snack I brought.
