Splash Pad

I think I've posted enough pictures on here that everyone gets the idea of how much Drew loves the pool. He really has no fear of falling in from the side into our arms and would walk right into the zero entry portion if we let him. I'm not sure what changes with him when he's around water NOT in a pool, but he's definitely much more timid and nervous.

Armed with 80spf lathered all over, we headed to a splash pad and here's how Drew looked the first 10 minutes:


Quite unlike how we though he would react, he instead stood off to the side all shy and stiff. After a while, and with a lot of coercion from us, he finally warmed up a bit and was able to touch a few of the streams.


Eventually he became less nervous, but for a kid who loves jumping into a pool, it was a sight to see! Here's a clip towards the end where he was a little more adventurous. (You'll have to excuse my motherly encouragement cheers).

    It's adorable to watch him assess the situation before going near the sprays of water. His cautionary ways are too cute.

    like you say, you'd think he'd run right into them as well as he does in a pool. so funny how he keeps looking at you to make sure all is 'ok'. maybe get a small , slow sprinkler in the backyard to get used to the idea.
