The last two days we have had real fun in the afternoon/evenings with the 'sprayer' - garden hose - and Leila has been running through it and we've all taken it at turns to spray eachother. We were really happy as a) it was a lot of fun and b) we thought that maybe she was getting more comfortable about getting her hair/head wet. With this in mind we decided that today we'd go to the Water Park at Otopeni again.
It seems that our excitement was misplaced as she spent the first hour of the visit on the climbing frame there rather than in the water! To be fair, it was a pretty good climbing frame and she did do really well climbing the nets there - getting good upper body strength it seems! But the point of paying a tenner was to swim and splash!!! We finally convinced her to come in the pool and we did a bit of playing in the water, but she was still pretty nervous on the whole. We did the lazy river again and eventually did a bit of splashing at the spray section, but after our initial enthusiasm contemplating a 'summer pass' for the water park I think we're going to forget about it until next summer. Oh well.
After all that, this afternoon we went round to Coop's for a BBQ and a play, and they had a pop-up pool and Leila _insisted_ she wanted to swim in it!!! WE'd brought her stuff just in case but hadn't bought ours, so we ended up leaning over the side to help her swim as the pool was just a tad too deep for her to stand in. We couldn't get her out of it! The boys were playing rather boyishly and so she got splashed a fair bit and was fine about it. Fickle little girl!
