Before fall gets here, and with the forecast promising more rain and cooler temperatures, we decided to take the twins for a swim one last time this summer.
We bought Gabe and Eden life jackets this summer because it is really hard to watch 2 children by the pool. Gabe is fearless in the water and doesn't understand why we have to hold onto him while he's in the pool. Eden fears the water more than Gabe but gets really close to the edge of the pool to throw toys.
Gabe loves to "jump off" (more like a fall) the side of the pool and he likes to feel the jet bubbles. He isn't afraid to float on his back and likes to be dunked under the water.
Eden is much more cautious in the water. She is completely content playing on the steps, throwing her toys in the water, and walking around the patio. She doesn't really like to be dunked or float on her back.
I'm excited to see how much the twins like or dislike the pool next year. Until one or both can swim, taking them to the pool is a 2 person job. We are very fortunate to have a pool in our backyard and friends and family that visit it often enough so the twins can enjoy it too.
