The girls and I have spent a lot of time at the Boston Sports Club pool over the past week. Julia and Madeleine have been doing swim workouts, keeping in shape during the break between the Y swim season and the start of the town's summer league. After lap swimming, we enjoy some play time in the various pools, and the girls are especially fond of the water slides. The water slide area has one big twisty tube slide as well as a smaller tunnel slide. In addition, it has a dinky little gentle, low impact slide in the shallow area. Here's Madeleine making her way down:
For some reason, however, Julia CANNOT get down the dinky slide. No matter how much momentum she pushes off with, her body just comes to a complete stop somewhere between halfway and three quarters of the way down. Enjoy some of her various attempts:
FAIL.
Closer! But still. FAIL.
Womp, womp.
Oh, boy. She's regressing.
Julia is determined to make it down that darn slide before the summer ends, so I'll keep you updated on her progress!
