From COLD to WARM

We decided to go to the pool on a busy Sunday. We know Emily LOVES the water, but even in China the pool was a slight challenge and we want her to be ready for the pool in the summer, so we thought we'd give it a try.
I was a little worried at first, as she kept a DEATH GRIP on my neck (or that of Sean) and simply seemed overwhelmed by all the people and the noise (I have to say it was loud!) I didn't want this experience to be a bad one for her, so we took our time and sat in the baby pool section for a while.

After some time, that DEATH GRIP loosened and we could see that she was starting to relax.

Later, she was even willing to go to the slide - you gotta let go there, and tried to climb the stairs - with some help - rather than being lifted up! 

After watching PAPA dive into the water a few times, producing a few giggles, she was loving the pool... and of course THEN it was time to go!


WHAT a FUN afternoon!
