What a great day at the pool!!! I was so very nervous about taking all four kids to the pool. The last time I took them to a pool by myself I was fortunate that it was at a friend's house because Joshua had an accident (and not the pleasant kind) and Logan has some sort of allergic reaction to something and was all boogery. And honestly, I didn't know what I would do with Emma while I was dealing with those two and their out of control bodily functions.
I really wanted to go to the pool and asked my wonderful neighbor, Stephanie, if she would want to go. She did (lucky me!) and off we went. She and her three kids and me and my four - what a crew!
It went really good!
Three things work in my favor this summer:
1. Lauren and Josh know how to swim. They aren't strong swimmers, but they know how to get to the edge of the pool.
2. Logan won't go in the big pool. Yay for the baby pool!!!
3. Emma's an awesome baby.
I felt empowered. This is a big deal. Many times I feel stuck because of Emma's feeding/nap schedule and Logan's three year old fireyness. So this was amazing!! I know every time won't be this good, but for planning on going for and hour and a half and staying for four hours, I'd say it's a win!!!
