Pool for Babies
As some of you may know there is not a lot of yard space in Vancouver. In fact most people do not have any yard and just have a balcony. This means that there are not a lot of pools in which to dunk your toddler in the blazing heat. Well, I guess that I spent the best five dollars of my life. (Except maybe the cat basket I bought for a buck, but that is another story.) I bought a blow up wading pool.
Now usually a blow up anything will take forever to inflate and leave you breathless. This one took only five minutes and that was while taking care of a 16 month old and a 12 month old. The boys have enjoyed the wading pool in my living room for a few days (dry of course) and I wasn't sure if it was going to be very good with water. Until today.
I put the wading pool on our tiny balcony, put less than an inch of water in it and Aidan crawled into it right away. I think that he has spent an hour and a half out of the last two in it. It is small enough that he can crawl over the sides and with the small amount of water he was very happy to splash and play without any worry. He was also cool.
Now, how do I get the water out?

How about some pictures of this event?
Evaporation might be one of the solutions.
OK, I will but the boy is trying to have a nap right now. I am planning to have him ion again later since the days get hotter here around super time. I will see if I can get some pictures.
You are such a wonderful daughter-in-law.
He looks sooo happy. Just water the lower garden from the deck. Bushes like an evening drink.
We watered the plants last night and then just let the water out on the deck. It was dry in about 5 minutes.
I definately plan to have the pool out again this afternoon. We are going to have a high of 35 degrees. It is 9:00 am and it is already 21 degrees. In a couple of minutes i am picking up Gen and Tristan and we are going to the pool in Kits. I think the boys should have a ball.
Thanks for the pics. Aidan looks as if he is really enjoying it. By the looks of the weather you certainly made a good investment.
