“Pool Time”

We surprised Lydi last Sunday with a small pool on our patio. It is really heating up here, so we thought it would be fun to have a way to cool off during the day when we are at home. She loves it!!! She was hesitant at first; which is true for her when she is trying to new things, but it did not take her long to enjoy splashing and playing with her “duhs” which translates to “ducks.” Our next door neighbor Marcelo came over this week to have some play time in the new pool. It was really fun. He stays at home during the day with his abuela (Grandmother), so they came over for about an hour one afternoon. It was fun and I got in some good Spanish time.

They play really well together, but when Lydi gets tired of playing this is what happens… “ she starts to whine, and soon she is pointing to Marcelo saying “out, out.” I think she was ready for him to leave her pool and her house, because when he finally got out of the pool, she went to the front door after they walked out she said “bye, bye” and shut the door. She definitely has her limits when it comes to people. She’s so funny, because sometimes she acts just like her mommy and then there are those times that she is much more like her daddy. I guess she’s a good mix!
