31 for 21 - Splashing in the water

Connor loves splashing in the water. He was very sad when Pa had to close his pool for the season, but still has a great time splashing in the bathtub. We try to do a bath every other day due to Makayla's eczema and dry skin from water in general, but someday's Connor will not allow us to not give him a bath. He just loves that part of his day. He will splash, play with boats, but his favorite part is filling cups with water and dumping the water over his head. He has also been known to dump the cups of water outside of the tub, but knows that mommy is not very happy with him when that happens!

Over the summer, he made some great progress in the pool. He has always loved swimming, but last year that mostly involved sitting ont he steps or floating in a tube. This year he would "jump" off the side into someones arms. He would even go under water with his jumps and come up very happy. He kicked and moved his arms to make the water splash and loved every minute he spent in the water.

At the water park...Connor spent the entire time by the fire hydrant!

 

 

P.S. I don't know what it is about October, but this is the 2nd year in a row I am trying to post the last few days without power. Last year I drove around with the kids in the car trying to find a parking lot with working free wi-fi. This year I am fortunate enough that the internet still works once we turn on the generator for power!
