High-Stakes Walking

Emmett has a decent sized pool in the backyard, so of course Luke is interested in being in it too. The water comes up to his knees, so crawling gets his belly wet with lots of splashing for his face, too. He only tried crawling once, the first time he went in. It made him mad, but then he sat up and saw Emmett playing and was ok. Emmett gave him some toys (Emmett is so great with him, most of the time!), and they played happily until Luke looked cold enough that I pulled him out.

This morning, Luke wanted in the pool again. He stood up and touched the water with his hands., but each time he lowered his bottom into the water he'd scream and stand back up. Then he'd take a couple of steps to go get a toy, and it was high-stakes walking practice! Sometimes he' d make it, but sometimes he'd fall on his bottom and scream about the cold water while getting back up ASAP. I wonder if he'll want to go in the pool tomorrow.
