I started slow w/ Jackson. He was about 7 months old when the pool opened and I would give him lots of treats when he was around it, then I guided him onto the steps with the treats, so it wasn't be just 'throwing' him in essentially. Then I would carry him in with me, etc. He only jumped in by himself about 3x that summer, but by the NEXT summer (last summer)... boy he was a total water boy. He just loved it. The lifejacket boosted his confidence with jumping too... I purchased it at Petsmart for about $20, I think. |
Thanks for the info.
I am SO sorry for your brother.
Oh, that just breaks my heart.
We have a cover and are pretty strict about using it....you can never be too careful.
Yes, Sophia's first time was an accidental slip in...maybe that is why she doesn't like it. I'm going to get some jackets and go real slow this year...well see how it goes!
