OK question - why is ashton sitting right behind baez why isn't he at his desk?
- since i'm watching the replay and they are talking about the pool i'm going to kick in my 2 cents
we have a pool and dd was born in oct. making her 8 or 9 months the first summer she started swimming.
our pool is half in half above ground. it is surrounded by a large deck.
for the first 2 years we too had a life jacket on Cassie and the second summer (after she was walking) she very quickly learned that if she went near the pool before we got there she wasn't going swimming.
SHE would grab her life jacket when she wanted to swimming and try to put it on. we zipped it up but she put it on.
she would walk up the stairs to the deck and stand and wait until dh or i or my parents got there.
she would then run to the stairs leading into the pool and only once (the first time) jumped in - after she was hauled out dried off and had a crying fit because she had to have a sit out she never did it again.
she would stand on the deck at the stairs and wait - sometimes we moved slowly to see if she would jump and she never did it again.
i'm pretty sure if they taught her not to go up the stairs by herself she would learn quickly.
i know every kids is different but cindy seems over protective of caylee and this whole swimming thing. she had a life jacket on - did she think caylee would sink or something?
i get the taking the ladder down fine - but holding on to her "until i was completely in" is over kill
