My Little Fish...

A little background on this story-I have ALWAYS loved the water. Mama says when Allyson and I were little, she'd take us to the baby pool, and we'd lay on the bottom of the pool looking up at the sunshine until she thought we'd been down too long, and she'd scoop us up. When I see pretty water, I have a strong urge to jump in (even if we're driving over 331's bridge). Apparently, not everyone feels this way-Walker doesn't get it, but I'd choose a day at the pool, lake, river or beach over about anything.
Anyway...one of my secret desires for my child would be that they would love the water. I taught swimming lessons for like 5 years, so I know there's lots of children in this world who aren't "naturals" when it comes to swimming. They will run to their mamas if a little water splashes in their face. So, when Sawyer first started taking baths, I'd pour that water right over his head, and not think about wiping his face. We've practiced splashing and kicking and blowing bubbles in the bathtub from the start. Anyway...I am proud to say that I have been blessed with a little fish! Sawyer-man LOVES the water! In fact, I think his 2 favorite things are water and food...so he's a lot like his mama! :) He's also into watering the plants/grass, because that includes turning on the faucet outside. He cracks me up how much he loves this!
I love this fact about my little boy! I can't wait to take him to a real-deal pool this summer, but in the mean time, this little blow-up pool is a pretty big hit! We spent a majority of the morning out there, so I thought I'd share a few pictures. I tried to choose the most discreet for modesty's sake.
