On Saturday, my mom surprised me and took me to this place she called ‘the pool’. Now, maybe some of you younger readers out there may not know, so let me tell you, a pool is kind of like a bathtub but much bigger and more awesome because there’s no soap and lots of other kids. I’ve never seen so much water in one place! If you’ve never been, you are in for a treat. You should definitely get your mom or dad to take you.

My day started out when mom took me to this weird smelly building and started changing me. I didn’t think anything was unusual until she put these weird shorts on me with no diaper. Now I knew something was up.

Well, pretty soon I found out what because we got into this huge bathtub-type thing that mom called a pool. I was a little scared at first but I put on a brave face for mom in case this was her first time in a pool. Another thing that makes it much better than a regular bathtub is that you can bring all of your friends in with you. So along with me and my mom there was Dylan and Dylan’s dad and Dylan’s mom. I don’t know why Leo and Mini and Zimby didn’t come, though. Maybe next time.

It was so much fun. I got to use the kickboard and float on my back. And then at the end I sat on the edge and jumped in! That was great. I didn’t put my head underwater, though. It’s not that I was scared but I didn’t know how Dylan would handle it and I didn’t want him to freak out. That kid’s got so much energy. I remember how I was at that age. Anyway, it was one of my best days in a long time and I hope I get to go back sometime soon. I also hope my dad can come soon because he always does crazy things with me and I don’t think he’d be as scared as mom.

Check out Mom's grip on me. It's amazing that I can still breathe!

Here's Dylan with his parents. It's after our lesson so he's a little sleepy

I was so tired after swimming! I couldn't wait to get home and take a big long nap
