Turtle Pool

Xander was really not into playing in the turtle pool.
At first he was in clothes...
but they were getting wet, "I don't like that"
So I got a swim diaper that was a little small.
"I don't like this swim diaper"

Then I just put him in his swim suit, without a swim diaper.
"I don't like swimsuit" As he tries to pull it off with the high pitched whining...
Think, Nichole, Think!
Distraction....when complaining starts, my instincts tell me to distract, change the subject, scenery, interests.

I spied the orange plastic slide. "LIGHT BULB" little slide that will fit in little pool...
SUCCESS!

Swim suit stays on.
Enjoys wearing swimsuit.
Goes up and down and up and down
and enjoys, very warm day at the pool.

I enjoy sticking my already starting to swell feet in cold water.

What a great day!
Now to think of something to do tomorrow.

OH Yes, just so you all know, I did not buy this plastic. Although it is very fun plastic.
You know how much I don't like Big plastic toys.
So Turtle Sandbox, that I use as a watering hole, was found on the side of the road, that someone was throwing away, and Orange Plastic Slide was given to my Mom by my Sister Cyndi.

SO We were Very GREEN with this find, as I prevented Big Plastic from going into a Land Fill!
