Lucy was a little bit wary at first. The slightest splash or going just a little bit deeper made her cry. I half expected this because Lucy's one great fear is going through sprinklers. It always makes her cry. I was worried I had a wimpy child...
...but after some time in the wave pool and some laps in the lazy river she was right at home and had truly found her element! I think the key is to take things slowly with Lucy. She is quite an observer and doesn't really enjoy being caught off guard. (She definitely got that from her Dad, and not me. My Mom said I rarely thought twice about taking risks as a baby.) She would have stayed all day, but alas the night had to come to an end!
So we quickly bundled her up and changed her 5 lb soaked diaper. Next time I think we will buy some swim diapers! Yuck!
And just because we happened to have a cute little baby robe , I thought now would be a good time to use it! We call her our little Jedi when she's dressed like this!
Dave and I marveled on the way home that the time in our lives had come where the reason we enjoyed things was watching our child experience and enjoy them. There was a time I would have been thrilled to go down every water-slide, but you know you are a parent when you are perfectly content to just soak in the lazy river while watching your child splash. Just when you start growing out of things like theme parks and roller coasters, you have children who bring a whole new excitement and reason for going to them!
