After a very rainy, windy, cold Spring it seems like today might be the start of the warm weather. Next week looks to be mid 70s and 80s. This is very good news for Roman since he is obsessed with water. AND Good Weather mean MORE water to play in. This boy has been obsessed with water since he was a baby. Water faucets, drinking fountains, baths, sinks, toilets, hoses, pools, sprinklers and his water table provide him hours of endless entertainment. We went to Target today and I was thinking of getting him a new toy, but he really isn't that into toys. So when I found this blow-up pool, I knew that this would be the ultimate toy for him.
Paisley loved it too.
The only problem with the water obsession is that it usually ends in a temper tantrum. Yesterday we were at the pool for the first time all season and Roman had a blast swimming with Jay. After a long time of swimming followed by a 10 minute shower, I had to persuade him to get dressed since it was getting cold. (I bribed him with a fruit roll-up) Once he was all changed and eating dinner, he decided he wanted MORE POOL! It was funny at first until it turned into him trying to get into the pool with all his clothes on. We realized the only way to resolve this situation was to leave the pool. Then today it was lunch/naptime and Roman had been in the blowup pool for over an hour. I warned him that we were going to need to go inside soon and the tantrum began to brew. After about 10 minutes, I finally got him out of the pool. 2 years old + being very strong willed is equaling in some very dramatic tantrum episodes. However I remind myself not to be too hard on him since he is 2 and trying to process so much. For the most part, he is so sweet, loving and hilarious. He keeps us laughing all day with his funny personality.
Cheers to a Happy Summer!
