At the pool - again

The pool is almost a daily activity for us - probably paid off our own by now! Each day we go Sophie buddies up with the kids that are there, if she knows them or not. Everyone remembers her and one lady said to me today "she won't lack confidence when she is older!" and we hope that she doesn't.
Soph has been desperate for us to hire a floating mat as she has seen kids having heaps of fun on them. They are actually great toys as they don't seem to sink even when the kids stand on them and dive off. We didn't need to hire one, she just hopped on this one as it went past! As it turns out the little girl was at the pool with her grandparents, grandad was lovingly holding on to the mat whilst she had fun and generous enough to allow Sophie to climb aboard. The girls had great fun, frolicking for what felt like ages to us "cold" ones. Grandad even encouraged Sophie to turn around to me so that I could capture some photo's. Small communities are great when it comes to kids.
