Alvin loves to play with water in his bathtub. However, he doesn't like the cold feeling from touching room temperature water. The parents knew it would be tough to get him into swimming pool so they started training on him couple months back. Everytime, the parents would wash his feet while washing his hands before meals. That really helps!
When it is the time to get into the pool, mom first sat down in the pool and sat Alvin on her laps. Alvin were also accompanied by his bath time friends - the duck mom and the ducky.
We then gradually moved downward to the pool and put his feet in the water and make the kicking water fun.
Once he got used to the water temperature, mom sat him down in the water and embraced him in a circle with his duck friends.
Soon, Alvin is on his own!
Finally, he has the whole pool!
So, the first pool experience wasn't bad at all! For the daddies, please don't assume your babies will love the pool and throw them into water! Take your time and they will finally get there!
