No fear

We have now established that our middle daughter is either mad or has no fear. She jumps off the stairs, loves the slide, climbs everything, usually me when I am feeding Cerys but her recent one is in the hot tub at my folks house.

Mum and Dad have just had a hot tub delivered to their new deck, it is fabulous and is like a mini swimming pool for the kids. Megan can stand in it but as the tub is all different depths she is very cautious when walking around it, it actually took her days to get the confidence to get in alone and even now she doesn't like it when the bubbles are on. However Erin is a different kettle of fish. If someone is in the tub she wants to get in and she just doesn't care if she goes under the water, she does it again and again, most of the time she cries afterwards but she just keeps on doing it. They do have fun in the tub but you have to watch them constantly. Even though it gives you peace and quiet you can't really relax and close your eyes incase Erin disappears in the bubbles!

We did have a near miss last week. I forgot to bring Erins swimming knickers so we put her in the tub in her birthday suit. She whinned to get out and even though Erin constantly whinned we were a bit baffled because there were people in the pool and she seemed to be enjoying herself. After mum lifted her out she proceeded to poo all over the decking and then sit in it. Yukky yukky yuk.....I couldn't stomach cleaning in up because it was rather soft and smelly, so mum did it in such a matter of fact way. It didn't bother her at all!! it is great to have parents like mine, they are so laid back and a bit of poo doesn't bother them at all!
