We have a pool near our house that we've grown to LOVE these past few weeks. Sadly, it closed for the season today. It's basically a large wading pool. But, it's chlorinated, clean, has two lifeguards on duty at all times, it's fenced and it's free. At it's deepest, the water probably comes to Peyton's belly button. I wish they'd keep it open for another month. I'd even pay to see that happen, and I bet others would too.
See the posse on the island? The ringleader is Libby. She basically goes around asking girls if they want to play with her. Then she leads them in a "follow the leader" type game around the pool starting with the words, "Okay, guys. Here's what we're gonna do......." and twice this week they followed. She got them to circle up, sit down, march around, jump off the edge and then change directions and do it again. As she saw new girls enter the pool she got them to join. I watched a few of the other moms watching their kids follow and worried that my kid is that bossy kid. But all the players seemed happy, so I kept my mouth shut. Afterward, I asked Libby if she knew any of her friends names, to which she replied, "no." It seems actually knowing them is secondary to them to follow her orders, and I'm happy she's a leader, just as long as she uses her super powers for good.
Man, those buns are cute.
