Does This Make Me a Bad Mama?!

The pool in January?

Sure. Why Not?

I let Andrew play in the backyard as I unloaded the car and finished a conversation with mama. When I went to check on him, I found him with one arm out of his shirt, and he was asking to "take bath". I was confused until I remembered that the baby pool was full of water. Rain water.

So I did what any sensible mother would do when it is 70 degrees in January, and your child is asking to get into a baby pool full of rainwater.

I stripped him down and let him at it!



He actually played in the pool for about 20 minutes before his lips started turning blue. At that point I made him get out. And the best part? He went down for a nap like a champ!
So far, no negative side effects from the rainwater, but if he starts clucking like a chicken or grows an extra appendage I guess we will know why.

I think that is very sensible! You definitely got some mommy points for that one!
