Today was hot, so we went down to the pool as a family.  We have gone for the past couple of weeks, and Brooke has seen some other kids with their “noodles” and wanted to play with them.  This was surprising considering about a year ago she was deathly afraid of them, but Laura bought her one and we got to test it out today.  Brooke loved it.  She had her own independence in the water while using it and seemed to like floating free.
