Sam’s first day at the pool
pamelamyers | May 23, 2009
Today we took Sam to the pool for the first time. Not that she had much choice, as I went to the pool and she sort of has to go where ever I go : ) Mark and I joined for the first time this year because we figured it would help cool me off in the dead of summer (everyone keeps warning me that I am going to be dying in the heat) and besides, we aren’t taking an actual vacation away this year. We did have a lot of fun, despite the water still being a little cold.
We took a little walk around and starting talking about how this would probably be the first of many years of pool membership. There were a bunch of families with kids, and there is a really adorable baby pool that has about a foot of water in it! Mark is ready to have Sam in the baby pool next year getting her ready for her first swimming lessons (hopefully, she will be able to swim long before her mommy, who still can’t swim — but I will learn, I swear!)
It is crazy though — I never really feel like I notice my extra weight. I guess you get used to carrying it around. But after being “weightless” in the pool for a while, when I got out, I really felt it! Thankfully, the feeling went away quickly and I got used to myself again. But it was a strange feeling for that little while.
And, sorry if you were looking for any, no bathing suit pics! (Maybe when I get a bit of a tan…..)
