What You'd Do for Your Kids


Isn't it amazing what you'll do for your children? Take this picture for example. Do you see Mommy or Daddy in there anywhere. No. There's the pool, Aiden, and even the slightly obese feline. But Mommy and Daddy don't get pool time.
When Daddy fixes bad food, Mommy eats it. Aiden gets to opt out for chicken tenders and applesauce.
When Mommy wants to watch TV, Aiden gets to watch Disney or Nickelodeon.
This is all very tongue in cheek. I don't think Aiden is particularly privileged. It was just as fun for me watching him in the pool than it would be for me to be swimming myself. Even though with yesterday's July 4th heat, the water would have felt nice.
And isn't that pool smart? Sticking the inflatable/removable shade on there was a great idea. Even with Aiden's complexion, I worry about him getting burned in the sun. Yesterday was a bit cloudy, but it still doesn't take long to redden up.
Hope everyone had a great and safe holiday!

no see, if you had a dog instead of a cat you'd have 2 living objects in the pool instead of one. the picture was great. we'll bring jack up and he'll creat a wave pool! Ha ! He would love that.
