Yesterday, we discovered a kiddie wading pool, 2 feet deep at Blue Mountain Park in Coquitlam, BC. We've been wanting to take our toddler swimming, but couldn't agree on whether we would take her to the community centre, or outside pool, and at what depth. This 2 feet deep wading pool is perfect for our 3 year old.
We went for a sight-visit, to scope out the pool and park, and after a little coaxing, Little B decided she wanted to come back in her swim suit, to try out the pool. Before leaving, however, Little B played with the musical playground (yes musical), and she sat on the big-kid swing for a few minutes.
We finished our day with take-out sushi dinner, sitting outside under our tent-gazebo in the cool evening sun. Little B went to bed with thoughts of swimming today.
Unfortunately, this morning, Little B woke up super-cranky and hot. She is running a fever, and is definitely not swimming today. It's been difficult coaxing her to drink liquids, and to eat something, as all she wants to do is lie down.
I've got congee cooking on the stove, and soon I'll have some chinese soup brewing as well. With a bit of acetimenophen, lots of rest and liquids, and some home-made comfort food, I hope Little B's energy will be back tomorrow, if not fairly soon. And perhaps next weekend, she will play in the wading pool!
