Making A Splash

Finally. We took Solomon to the swimming pool across the street. We already knew he loved kicking around in water, but I wondered if the crowd or the cooler water temperature might damper his fun. Nope. He had a blast. The Boy laughed and splashed around. We found that hanging out in the deeper part was preferable to the shallow end where all the young kids played. Swimming definitely wore him out. We made a secret promise that if he slept through the night we'd swim every day. He only slept until 3, which is a fine time for a midnight snack, but doesn't qualify for sleeping through the night. In an unrelated story, I've decided to invent a new game of skill. Akin to the game at the fair in which one attempts to thread a loop over a curved and rotating wire, this game will require the contestant to put pants on a kicking infant.
