Today my mom and I took Ben to the pool. The weather was a little questionable, but we already had plans to meet up with another friend for lunch before hand. We made the drive to Dayton and right when we got there, it started to rain. We had a nice lunch and just planned on going home afterwards. The weather held out long enough for us to give Ben a quick dip in the baby pool. He seemed to enjoy himself for the 5 minutes he was in the water. Because of his
trach, we had to be very careful that he the water didn't get to close to his neck. I think Ben just thought I was giving him a cold bath in a big tub!
Ben and I were posing for a picture in the car before lunch. I didn't think I would get a picture of Ben in the pool, so I at least wanted one of our "attempted" pool date.
But, the weather cooperated briefly, so we were able to have a pool picture after all.
And this is Ben in his
skivvies after we took him out of the pool. I love this picture because I think Ben looks so sweet and innocent - and it shows off his meaty thighs.

Ben,
You are too cute!! I am glad you at least got to get wet before the rain came!! Maybe you and mommy will be able to go again soon and hopefully the weather will cooperate.
Love,
Brian, Sarah, and Caleb Hlebiczki

Oh no.....I can't believe it rained! It seems like when it rains in Dayton, it's fine here and vice versa. It's cute to see Ben liking the pool which means, he is definitely into it and wanting to give it another try.
And remember, he does look sweet and innocent....but just remember all the times he tries to take his trach or implant off when he knows not to? :) He's a good boy though....and we love him so much!
What a cutie....thanks for posting these pics...I was wondering how the day at the pool went....
Love,
Aunt Jen
Love the pictures Ben - Kennedy had a swim/pool/play date today too and she had a BALL!
Woo hoo, Ben! Look at those legs! At least the weather held up long enough for a quick dip. Glad you had a nice day after all. Miss you all!

Wow cute!!! Eva doesn't like the water to much at least she didnt when we were camping.
There is a video of our trip in the journals of Eva's site I just reupdated it yesterday.
Glad you got to go for a swim even if it wasnt long.
Crystal and Eva
Ben looks like you Amy! How cute! I'm glad he liked the water! I hate that the weather runined your plans..
Love Jennifer Mock
PS Love the legs!
I love the picture of you standing up Ben. So big! Swimming is such fun for our little guys! When the water's cold it's hard though.
I am so sad you won't be at the conference! Well, hopefully the next one. I always can't wait to hear where the next one will be. Hopefully they'll announce it at the conference. Two years goes by so fast. Seems like yesterday we were going to Miami(and Oh how things were so different then). So we'll just set our sights on getting the pleasure of meeting you all then!
Love from MO,
