Yesterday we went to visit my grandma, mom & Gene in Spring Hill. The only thing the boys associate going to grandma's with is swimming, since they're just like fish and she has a pool. So, as you could probably tell, when I told them we were going to grandma's house they got all excited thinking they were able to go swimming! I had to explain to them that even though it's very nice and warm outside, the pool water is still very cold (close to 65) and therefore they would not be able to swim. Naturally, the Austin-Attitude and Tyler-Drama kicked in and I had to listen to them for 2o minutes on my way home, whine about how they wanted to go swimming.
We later go to gram's house and they both went running straight to the pool. Tyler stuck his hand in and agreed that it was very cold and he was going to go back inside to play. Austin didn't believe him, so he decided to step into her pool, on the first step, socks, shoes and all! I had to take his socks, shoes and shirt off him, and told him he could play on the first step only, since the water was so cold. (The first step only goes up to mid chin on the boys.) Tyler came running out and saw that Austin only had his shorts on and was 'almost' in the pool when he decided he wanted to do what Austin was doing. So, he gets undressed and out of nowhere, takes off running in a dead sprint right towards the pool. Now, I didn't stop him because I figured in his excitement he would stop when he got to the first step, then play with Austin. OH NOOO! He kept going. Right past the steps and took a running leap into the deep end of the pool! As soon as he popped up out of the water, eyeballs as big as golf balls with a shear look of panic on his face he swam to the side where I lifted him out. He was so cold he couldn't even catch his breath to start crying. All I could do was laugh, even though I felt bad, because it was so typical of what a cartoon charachter looks like when they take off running, feet spinning and all!
Tyler decided to take my word that the water really was cold and went back inside to play.
Lesson learned. Maybe.
