Here I Go Again: Splish SPlash!

mummy was most proud of Idhan Akil yesterday! finally, his phobia towards the pool of water has left him. The phobia came one day when we brought him to the baby spa at Yishun, when the group of *****women staffs scare him with their noisy and irritating gestures. They kept on trying to calm him down wit toys and there were 4 of em, mind you, surrounding the small tub in which Idhan was in, not even allowing me, HIS MUMMY, to comfort him. I had to raise my voice and say "I believe he is afraid of too many people, so will you allow me to comfort my son, and stop ur noise? do u even noe how to handle a baby? ". U guys noe how much my son is hapy around people, and I never had this problem the first time we let him float in the normal swimming pool. Hubby said " this is the one and only time we'll come to this place and its damn expensive and idiotic service".

Sooooo, yesterday when the impromptu plan came, i decided to give it another try and bring my son to the swimming pool and teach him to love the waters, as he always been, during his bathtub showers. I met Ikin and her lil pretty Bashirah for a splashing time at Woodlands SC.

The moment i got Idhan Akil dressed for the waters, i kept saying my prayers that he would be ok, at least, and will not wail the way he did in THAT baby spa. I carried him for a shower and sat by the baby poolside, immersing his legs first so he noes wat he is in for. Indeed, his face changed ( look at the pict) , but i kept on singng Dibo's and Mickey MOuse's tunes and he started smiling, and his hands started playing splash. As he did that, i slowly immerse his body in, and as he continues, the next minute he realises that water is already at his shoulde level and he was smiling away! Damn grateful and happy i was. And many THANKS to Ikin too for guiding him on the backfloat and getting him used to the waters!

Tragedy almost struck but Allah swt has Mercy for lil Shirah. She had climbed the flight of stairs of the pool slide, when the lifeguard decided to switch on the water sprinklers so as to wet the slide for her to use. The lil got frightened of the sudden burst of waters and sounds that she sprint down the stairs, missing one or two along the way, and almost plunge head first to the rails, when her HERO, her beloved mum, Ikin, caught her neck and carried her up. What a scene there, had my hair standing and i was glad she is a strong gal, she didnt cry but she got a lil frightened by the sprinklers. I wouldnt noe wat i would have done IF this happened to me.

Anyway lil Shirah is a great gal. The incident didnt stop her from braving the pool again. It shows when she pointed towards the 1M deep pool, askin us to go over. And she continued to learn more swimming stuffs from Mummy. :O) as for IA, he enjoyed kickin and i dunno if im right, but everytime i say "KICK", IA will start kicking! damn im so proud of this boy!
