It was 85 degrees here the other day, and after a walk and two park outings, Orelia was ready to relax in the pool. Unfortunately for her, Mama was worried about all the sun she had gotten that day, and wouldn't let her spend any more time outside - even in the shade.
So we made an indoor pool out of the steel tub we used the other weekend for ice cold beers - it worked great! I knew the tub didn't and wouldn't leak, so I was willing to put it on our hardwood floors.
A few inches of warm bathwater and we were all set to play "pool" in our play room! Orelia still uses the baby bath, so sitting up on her own in this steel tub was a new experience for her.
Needless to say, it was a hit!
Since it wasn't really bath time, I didn't need to torture her by getting her hair wet or scrubbing her down.
We were just there for the fun of splashing and singing and being silly.
It was a great way to pass the time on a hot day.
Turns out, Orelia wasn't sunburned anywhere, so she probably would have survived some more time outside.
Who knows - this may have been our first and last indoor pool party, so I'm glad I captured the fun on camera.
What a meat idea! Those are the extra special memories.
ReplyDeleteYou should try a bath seat like this: http://www.amazon.com/Safety-1st-Swivel-Bath-Seat/dp/B003WP5OYM/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1366696213&sr=8-3&keywords=bath+seat (Not the exact one we had, but same idea). It'll make bath time more fun for Orelia since she wants to sit and play in a bigger area, and you won't be worried about her drowning in the bath.
