Like a Fish out of Water... in the Water

Poor Kellan.  We haven't taken him swimming since we were in Hawaii last November.  So, we suppose it shouldn't have been any surprise that Kellan might be afraid of the water when we took him into the pool at our hotel 2 weeks ago.

We started off so well - maybe Kellan thought he was going to get to watch us play in the pool?

Then, things turned ugly... it was clear Kellan was NOT okay with the change of events

Eventually, we tried bringing rubber ducky (a favorite bath toy) into the pool with Kellan, which seemed to help a little bit

By the end of the swimming excursion, Kellan felt confident enough to stand by himself at the side of the kiddie pool (with rubber duck in hand, of course)

Hey, there's that Kellan grin!
