For Easter, Aunt Laura and Uncle Nick bought Jack a paddling pool. We were thankful for a warm afternoon so we could break out the SPF and give it a go. And, of course, the reasons we like it — it has a canopy, and the cute little legs and eyes — are the same reasons Jack was crabby about it.

He warmed up to it though — once we met his demands of warmer water and location change (to the patio, that kid is not fond of grass).

Check out this svelte little guy. And, yes, those are European swim trunks.

Thanks for such a thoughtful pressie! We’ll make good use of it this summer.
