She loved it and wanted to have her dinner outside sitting in her pool. Two and a half year old children are very determined. We arrived at their home while she was napping so Ken put a few inches of water in the little pool so the water was not cold. When she came to the family room she spotted the pool and I told her it was her pool. She quickly shed her clothes and got in and proceeded to play in the little pool for the next two hours, climbing in and out, pouring water over her head and splashing her feet, Christina sitting on a stool right beside her. When it was time for supper, life became difficult for Molly as she wanted to eat but she wanted to stay in her pool.
Kate finally rescued her by taking her for a bath. Molly was so tired that Christina had to help her eat, but after her supper she was her normal cheery soul and by seven-thirty she was sound asleep. Being two and a half is difficult but Molly is a charming child most of the time. Tonight it was fun to watch her determination and stubbornness. She wanted to stay in her pool and she would not be happy. I finally put the pool out of sight but she still asked to play in her pool.
On the way to their home late this morning I suggested that we stop at Fred's Discount store to find a small pool. The day was hot so I thought Molly would enjoy the water play. The pool cost twelve dollars and will serve Molly all summer. I hope Molly learns to finish the play without trauma or my name will be mud. But she loved it today. It is not always easy to provide two hours of joy for a granddaughter, but today was a big hit.
