We took Monroe to a wading pool for the first time last week. Zach and I were anxious to see how she would do with the water when she was in control. We were pleased that she didn't seem to have any fear of the water.
She very willingly walked in the water as it snaked around and got deeper. It took her a little while to get used to walking in the 12" water without falling over, but she figured it out. There were many times that her face went under or got wet. She would sputter and gasp, but she never once cried.
She also figured out that she could sit down in the shallower part. She would sit down and then look at us like she had done something really cool.
We also realized that we may give too many kisses in our family. While at the pool, Monroe tried kissing three different kids (total strangers). It is probably our fault, but she apparently thinks this is a normal way to greet someone.
We had a great time in the water! We look forward to going many more times this summer.
