Water Baby!

On the 20th March we took Emily to the swimming pool for the first time.

As i had never really taken a baby swimming before i wasnt too sure what to expect, although we have never yet had any accidents in the bath i didnt know how we would go on in the pool.

I explained to Emily that the swimmers nappy i was putting on her was'nt a free license to fill it and that if she needed the toilet she must must tell me.

She absolubtly loved the pool and was very brave, she didnt have her floatation jacket on for very long and was quite comfortable hopping up and down in the pool so long as me and Daddy were close by.

We must have been in there about 45 mins, still having a wonderful time when suddenly Emily burst out crying, so much so i couldnt work out what she was saying, i thought maybe she had caught her foot on a sharp tile or something so i lifted her up and calmed her down enough to hear her .. "I need a poo!, that means i cant swim anymore! *sob*"

I told her that we could go to the loo and come back but by the time we queued her little jaw was chattering away and my belly was rumbling so we decided to get dressed and go to the cafe for burger and chips.

She cant wait to go again :0)
