Jetta got her very own pool for Christmas, but for obvious reasons we had to wait until summer to fill it up and use it. However, as I've mentioned in several of the last posts, it has been super hot this summer, but with that we had alot of rain, so we had to wait for that to pass before we could really fill it up. So, about a month ago, Shannon set it up on the deck and filled it up. Jetta was very excited, but we had to wait for 24 hours to let it warm up. She just didn't understand.
Shannon's aunt has a pool and his cousin Amy takes her in it quite often. So, I think she was confused why she had to wait to go in it. So, after waiting for 24 hours, it was ready to go. Needless to say, since the temps were so warm, the water was more than ready to go. There have been several times where we have had to actually add cold water to cool it off.
She got her suit on and in she went. She really loved it. We take some of her bath toys in and she thinks she's in heaven. She plays in it till her fingers and feets are all wrinkly and we tell her she has to get out. We take her out as often as we can handle the heat. However, can't say Shannon hasn't climbed in with her before.
The pool has definitely been a good gift from Grandma....thanks. I'm gonna attach a few pics. We keep hoping to get her into swim lessons, but with cousin Amy working with her and taking her in as much as she does, not sure that we really need to. She also has been going in with our friends Gaylan and Amy, as they recently got a pool also. So, with all them working with her, maybe she'll learn with all their help. She definitely loves going in and is not afraid, so I guess its a start...thanks to all of you for working with her.

I am so glad she likes the pool and hope she will learn to swim from the ones taking her in the bigger ones, do think that is one important thing to learn, even though her Grandma has never learned and neither has Grandpa.
She looks like she is really enjoying it.
As fast as she is at learning things hopefully she can teach her daddy to swim. She is such a precious little lady. I am so glad i got to visit. I had the greatest time. Thank you Shannon and Janet for my gift to see not only Jetta-Bug but all of you. It was wonderful1!
