We bought EK a kiddie pool to play in this summer.  She wasn’t all that sure about it at first, but has had a blast the last couple of times we have been out there.  Today EK found a little “friend” on the side of the pool.  She was very curious about her new pet, but kept dropping him and then picking him back up.  She was gentle with him and thankfully didn’t squeeze him between her fingers.  EK’s discovery was a sign it’s time to clean the pool and refill it.
