Riley's friend, Madeleine, invited Riley and a few other friends over for a pool party. Marc stayed home with Jacob because he was napping when we left and I was not thrilled about having to get in a bathing suit in front of Riley's friend's parents but I took one for the team when she begged me to get in the pool with her. I must say it was a super good time! Their pool was awesome, a huge L-shaped pool and it was warm and better yet, was filled with salt water so we didn't smell like chemicals when we left. Riley was hilarious, she kept asking if it was a giraffe pool like we had, I kept trying to explain to her that it was a real pool like at a hotel (except theirs was probably bigger than most hotels!) and she couldn't grasp that it wasn't a blow up pool like we had. Needless to say once we got there and she saw it was indeed a real pool she was beyond thrilled and was ready to get right in and begged me to go with her! We had tons of fun and she was ALL over the place in her swimmy, I can't wait for her to start swim lessons in a few weeks!
And at this point, watching how much excitement and joy that she was filled with about going into the pool I was EXTREMELY thankful of Dr H for putting her in a brace rather than a cast. Thank God for great doctors who think of their patients on all fronts, not only treatment but quality of life! We are truly lucky to have found such a wonderful Dr.
It was a great afternoon and a fantastic way to beat the 100+ degree heat that we've been having!
