Holiday….
Last week was hell. Bea had her first real cold, Alex’s parents were here. Of course Bea picked up the cold from me, which meant that I was run down, having to look after a sick baby and play hostess to a family of four, two of them being teenagers. So you can imagine how wonderful everything was. But then mid-week, after Alex’s parents had left, we drove over to see my dad in Burgundy and Bea went in the pool for the first time!
In terms of toys, I didn’t buy anything specifically for the pool. I took her bath fish and Mr Turtle thing (basically a form fitter toy in the shape of a turtle…) because they both are made of plastic and wouldn’t sink. She didn’t really play with any of them in the pool though, I used them mainly as a distraction for when she was first getting in and didn’t really know what was going on. Obviously as she gets older and gets used to being in a pool, she can start engaging with water toys more. But for the moment, the water was a good enough toy and kept her occupied just long enough for me to start worrying about sun burns….
