Pool Vest
Hello to everyone.
Xavier has taken an interest with the apartment pool more than the beach across the street. Last week, Rebecca hosted a pool party for her class. Xavier and I played on the steps in the pool. As Xavier grew more comfortable with the waters surrounding him, one of the other tenants offered to let him use one of their floatation vests.
We accepted the offer. Even cinched up as tight as it would go, still it was a little too big for Xavier. He did not at all like the sensation of free-floating with the vest. Even so, Rebecca and I decided to get Xavier his own vest. We found one suitable for supervised pool use.
Mom suited up and introduced Xavier to his new pool accessory. We also bought a water cannon for Xavier to play with; it took his mind off the vest, which he was not sure about when we suited him up.
The water cannon, which he knows well how to use after last summer (he had two with which he hunted both Dad and dog), held his attention as Mom helped introduce him to assisted floating.
