Water Baby

Allary absolutely LOVES the water. She has never been afraid of the water. She will even dump a little bucket full of water right over her face, gasp for air, and then laugh and laugh and laugh. I finally gave in to her pleas yesterday to go swimming and so we took her pool outside in the blazing heat of the afternoon. The whole event (setup, sunscreen, swimming, cleanup) took about 1 1/2 hours, but the actual playing in the pool only lasted about 15 minutes before she said, "Hot, Mommy. All done!" I was frustrated with all the effort it took to get out there, so forced her to play for another 10-15 minutes to make it worth it.
