Did someone say FROGS?



Samuel is a little unsure about the water this year. He likes the idea of going swimming but once there only likes to sit on the steps. For awhile he was content to sit and splash around...that was until he discovered the skimmer. He now knows that he can find all kinds of insects and frogs. Instead of sitting and splashing in the water he now wants to hold a frog. So.... each day when it is time to swim we get dressed in swimming gear, spray on the sunscreen and get a towel. We sit in the water (on the steps) for a few seconds and off he goes to find a frog. He then comes back with frog in hand to sit on the steps. He will occasional send the frog into the water for a short swim and then scoops him back up. He flips and turns the frog and will sit the frog on the side of the pool. He will repeat these over and over and over again until the poor little frog dies. Then and only then can I convince him to put the frog in the grass. But don't worry...he heads straight to get another one.
