staycation

My parents are here visiting this week. They rented a nice big house with a pool so we've packed ourselves up and moved across town to stay with them.

At our previous home we had an ungated swimming pool so last summer we made a huge financial and time commitment and got Thing1 ISR lessons. At the end of lessons I was amazed that my 2 year old could not only swim under water but had the survival skills to float to the surface and swim to the edge if he fell in the water fully diapered and clothed.

Then we moved.

Yes, we live In Hawaii and spend plenty of time at the beach but how much actual swimming does one do in the ocean?

One year later, I am now extremely proud to say that, my little boy can absolutely not swim on his own.

As for Thing2, well, he isn't even interested in trying.

WHAT is this water stuff?!?
