Mason's 1st Pool Time

Mason recently had his very first big pool experience.  I was sort of expecting the worst......for him to scream and cry as he sometimes does in new/overwhelming situations.  But he actually did pretty well!  At first he didn't know what to make of this experience.

But then he started having fun slapping the water.

And decided that splashing water--especially in people's faces--is incredibly enjoyable.

He's also learned that picking his nose is quite fun and interesting, and frequently enjoys this pastime in public with absolutely no shame.

Grandma and Tracy took turns holding him, but Mason has pretty bad separation anxiety right now, and sometimes is only happy with Mommy or Daddy. ::sigh::

That's Tracy's hand and Mason's hand in the foreground because he knows how to give high fives!

 By the end, he was feeling much more comfortable in the pool.  I just love this picture and the expression on his face at such new and exciting experience!
