Matthijs’ first visit to the pool!
As is the case with many basic things in life, they can be pretty scary if you’re 11 weeks old. While we were in Cebu in our friend’s house, we felt we should let Matthijs take his first dip in their pool. It’s a nice 30 Celsius here in Cebu and the pool brings a welcome refreshment in this climate.
Ofcourse, Matthijs so far is only used to his cosy warm sponge bath, so this is going to be a surprise.
First thing, get your feet wet:

All fine here, nothing really shocking about this for Matthijs.
However, when Marc pulled him down slowly into the water, things were getting pretty chilly especially on the back!!

Yikes dad - get me out-a-here!

Still chilly - not liking this!

Hang on - it’s feeling better now…

Hey - this is actually quite cool!

There you go - you’re floating with just one hand helping you. Well done on your first lesson.
