Activity #124: Install a swimming pool

by Whitney

Rookie Dad and I enjoyed some relaxing time in our backyard this weekend as Julian was totally occupied with his swimming pool and some plastic mugs and mixing bowls. I highly recommend this activity.

Set up a baby pool in backyard with a few inches of water and some plastic cups. Grab a swim diaper or introduce Junior to the art of skinny dipping. Since you’re a great mom, I don’t need to tell you how closely this activity needs to be supervised.

If you think my son looks like a superhero in this picture, it’s because he is wearing his weird sunsuit from One Step Ahead. I am a big fan of this product.

I also want to mention that I followed my own advice, and when my friend Sharon called me from Walgreens to ask if I needed anything, I told her I needed a $10 baby pool. Done.

Let us also mention that where we live, most people don’t have pools.

We did the same thing with our 11month old this weekend! He had a blast and was exhausted which resulted in a long afternoon nap!! Yipee for Mom!!!

My 2 year old loves his little pool. I found every shape and size container I could and he looked like a little mad scientist out there! He just likes pouring water from one cup to another. I think he could do it all day!
