Addie got suited up last weekend in a swimming diaper (really, they have these) and headed out to Great Aunt Jeanne’s house. She was accompanied by her entourage down to the pool. Here’s a glimpse into her diva-ness:
- Mom – carrying Addie
- Aunt Em – Covering Mom/Addie with a golf umbrella to protect them from the sun
- Dad – Camera body, three lenses and a remote flash (papa-razzi?)
- Great Aunt Elaine – post-swimming towel, secondary camera
- Great Aunt Jeanne – running interference to protect Addie from the very interested dog
Mom went in with Addie and once her butt got wet, the tears started. Warm bath in the whale tub next to the kitchen sink this was not!
She was shivering and blubbering so we retreated (a feat for her armada of adorers in various stages of flotation) to the “beach” for shallower and warmer waters. Dad retired from behind the camera to see if Addie could appreciate the pee-warm waters more than the open sea. Besides wiggling her arms, there was not much sign of enjoyment laying on the wet flagstone.
She was scooped up and escorted to the awaiting towel (organic Egyptian cotton, silk trim, integrated hood). Back to the bathtub for now. We’ll try again next month…
Love, love all your pictures and commentaries – keep them coming. Addie looks so cute and so much bigger. Ditto, I can hardlly wait to see her (and her parents, of course)
