Cole had his first pool experience last Saturday. It was plenty warm out, but the water was still wicked cold. Oh well, Daddy went in with him, so it didn't matter so much to me. But, the little boy just didn't care about the cold. He loved it. Once it hit his chest, it took his breath away a bit, but he was still having a great old time.
The pool belongs to friends of ours who have just recently finished the new additions to their family with the arrival of number four, only two weeks after Cole was born. They have a four year old daughter, 2 1/2 year old twin boys, and Brennan, nearly 8 months now. A crazy house, but the kids are all good. However, I got a glimpse into what may be in my future. Of course, growing up a girl, I know what girls do, so this whole raising a boy thing is always illuminating me into the world of the opposite sex. The twins came in from the pool to get dressed and were entirely nude. Well, fine. It's easier, no problem. However, then we began a session of tugging on the penises. Okay, I understand little boys are figuring out that little dangly thing between their legs. But I was quite shocked when one of them, began tugging a bit harder. Very hard. I'm talking this thing was stretched out FAR to the point where the whole system down there was completely stretched. What the heck. I guess I just thought things were a tad more sensitive down there to be doing that. Another illumination. Can't wait for that. "No, no, Cole, we don't tug on our penis in front of other people, please". Parenthood. Love it.
