Pool membership

There's not too many places in Tianjin that are fun for kids. And the weather here is such that there's only a short window of time that it's not too hot or cold to be outside. So I decided to sign up for a membership to use the pool nearby. I saved Lizzy's swimsuit from last year and it still fits her okay. Hayden has definitely outgrown his swim trunks from last year and we cannot buy swim diapers in China (Chinese babies don't go swimming). So while we're waiting for Grandma to send us some, Jason and I thought it would be okay to just have him wear a regular pull up that we had left over from Lizzy.

Thus, the pink pull up. HOWEVER, we did not think it through all the way...what happens when you put a child with a regular diaper into a swimming pool. Within one minute, Hayden was hauling around the most bloated pull up I have ever ever seen! I mean, those things can hold A LOT of water! He still managed to have a blast though and Lizzy is learning fast. I hope we can go swimming often enough to make my membership worth the money.
