Finally swimming

Pepe was a water baby during his first year of life. I swam over 1 hour daily during my last few months of pregnancy, and so was taking some credit for his love and comfort in the water. The swimming class we took together when Pepe was 6 months old was money well spent, so I thought! But the cool water baby turned into a nerdy toddler, that did not want to have anything ton do with the water...the water in a pool, lake or ocean, that is. He continued to love the water in other forms...drinking water, spilling water. Last year we went to Walden Pond every weekend, and Pepe had his spot near the water fountain, turning it on or off for people who wanted to wash their feet... We took another swimming class in the winter, but both of us disliked it, the water was cold, and the class filled with babies. So far this summer at the rez Pepe seemed more interested to find toys he can play with, than the water. Until this afternoon. He followed a couple of kids around, and all of the sudden he went to the area with the sprinkling fountain. He was cautious at the beginning, wanting me or Chris to go with him and get close to the fountain. At some point I took him with me and we got under the sprinkles, and it seemed like we were under a water fall. Pretty cool. Pepe was fascinated. He wanted both of us to keep going there with him. We did, but then we got cold. So Pepe went by himself. Again and again. Then Chris threw him in the air and into the water, playfully, and kinda drop ed him in the water at some point, head and everything. No peep, he got out and started laughing and playing. Now, that's my kid, coolness and everything!
