Jenna took her first swim yesterday! We got home from schooland the babysitter's and it was HOT! We don't have the air on and inside the house (in the basement) it was still 78 degrees. Jenna was bored and miserable even without her clothes on, so we decided to do something different. We went down and put our feet in the lake to test the temperature. Since Jenna didn't object too much I thought "it's time for a swim!" As soon as Kelly got home, we grabbed our suits and the camera and headed in. Jenna wasn't too sure at first. She held on really tight to Mommy with her eyes as wide as saucers. We went deeper and deeper into the water and actually she did better when more of her was in the water. Finally she relaxed enough for me to pry her hands off of me and spin her around in the water. We started jumping up and down and she really liked that until she got water in her mouth and spit up a bit. But, she didn't get upset because she was willing to stay in the water and keep exploring.
Not long after that, she realized she could splash! Something she hasn't really done in the bathtub. Of course she didn't like it when she splashed herself in the face, but she never did cry either.
All in all, she had a good time. When it was over, she got her bath and went off to bed. Clearly exhausted from the busy day!
