Dog Days of Summer

Today signaled the last full pool day in our neighborhood. School starts tomorrow, so our weekday pool hours decrease. This is not welcomed news in our house! The kids lived it up though, celebrating every last second of water time they could before dinner. Eli jumped off of the diving board so many times...I have no clue how any water remains in the pool, given how many "big pashes" he made. Lehr took off one more float from his turtle-back too, forcing Eli to use his arms and legs a little more while swimming. I can't believe how much he's improved over the summer!! When we started, Eli could only 'swim' with one of us in the pool and he wouldn't jump off the board. Now he's not only jumping, but he's swimming with minimal help!! Maddie had a blast too, allowing me to 'throw' her off the side to Lehr. She loves swimming in the big pool with one of us! She definitely loves her baby-pool time too, walking around and pretending to swim as she touches the bottom with her hands.
