Hello Stranger!

Adam is back doing rotations (he's currently on ER) and so Henry and I went to the pool today...solo. It was a hot Erie day (91 degrees, what what?!) and so a lot of other people had the same idea. Having a toddler at the pool is hilarious. Henry swims about 10% of the time and walks around and waves at strangers the other 90% of the time. Mainly, I just follow him around and keep him from stealing others' toys and stepping on their beach towels.

I also make a lot of random conversation. Often with small children! See, most moms at the pool are off on the side, lounging in a chair while their kids' swim. However, Henry can't swim so I am on him like white on rice. Therefore, I often end up being the only adult in the kids' pool.

Small Child: Hi. Are you his Mom?

Me: Yes.

Small Child: Don't let him go in very deep. He cannot swim.

Me: Good point. Thanks!

Small Child: Do you have a dog?

Me: Yes.

Small Child: Hey, guess what? I am going to get a dog soon.

Me: That's cool. A big dog or a small dog?

Small Child: Like, probably a german shepherd. Or a hunting dog.

Ok, bye.
