Home Cooked Thoughts

Ben Chillin' in the Pool

Every now and then my son and/or his cousins create picturesque opportunities that must be shared … yesterday was no exception.  My sister and I opted for a pool day at grandma’s house so we met up before lunch, fed the boys, slathered everyone with sunblock, grabbed grandma, and headed for the pool.  I had wanted to get a head start so Ben could play before his usual nap-time at 3.  We arrived at the pool shortly after 2 so I assumed there would be plenty of time for Ben to enjoy the water before wanting to sleep.

As you can see from the picture … I couldn’t have been more wrong.  Ben wanted to sleep right away and his cousin, Aidan, had the same idea.  So, Leandra and I walked around the pool, occasionally playing with Brandon, while the boys lounged on their floats and slept the afternoon away.  They eventually woke up and enjoyed some playtime … lots actually … but I have to say … wouldn’t it be nice to have no cares and be able to relax like them?!
