our little amphibian

Porter has always enjoyed being in the water. From the moment he was born he enjoyed his baths and he's enjoyed the times that we've visited this pool with Jill and Kenny.
With the weather being as beautiful as it has been, we decided it would be a good idea to get a kiddie pool for the backyard.
Porter loves it.
It's an alligator.
Porter loves alligators.
If I had a nickel for every time I heard "OOHHMMPP" and "WOW" yesterday, I would be a very wealthy woman.
It wasn't until he started shivering that he decided maybe it was time to go inside. I've never once heard him ask to go in so he must have been freezing. I took him inside, changed his clothes and sat him underneath a big blanket. About 5 minutes later he was dragging me to the back door saying "OOHHMMPP, peeeeace" (If you haven't heard him say please, you really should... it's darling.)
Sadly the wind picked up today and made it much colder outside, so no swimming today. But, that didn't stop Porter from enjoying his pool. He pulled me outside to sit in his empty pool and he was just about as ecstatic today as he was yesterday.
Hopefully we'll have less wind over the next few days and Porter can once again enjoy a pool filled with water.

That's almost better than "our" pool, and since our pass is just about to expire, it might even be better. Once our passes do expire, we'll probably have to barge in on your little pool for fun. Our backyard pool is just a circle.

Better keep a little water in that pool so it doesn't blow away. Imagine how sad that would be!
