Livvy is our fish. She LOVES the water. You can't keep her out of the pool.
She will be turning blue, teeth chattering, and trembling just short of convulsions but she will not get out of the water. "Aren't you getting cold", we ask. "No." Is the answer as she fights to stand on shaky legs all the while waiting for you to be in position to catch her as she jumps in for the hundredth time. Force is often necessary to remove her.
Elle loves to swim as well but she is her mother's child. Her love of the water is tempered by her dislike of being cold. Thankfully the temperature here is close to 100 now (thankfully?) and the water temperature is above 85. She can swim forever and never get cold.
This was taken when Ashton was about 10 months old. He screamed the first time I took him in the pool. Of course, he screamed when the girls went in the pool as well. He screamed when I would try to sit down and dangle my feet in the water or when I would - heaven forbid - attempt to walk anywhere near the pool. Although he now loves to be in the water he is currently enrolled in swimming lessons and is not happy about it.
