Scout’s cousins were over during the weekend, and they put in many hours in the “baby pool” AKA hot tub.  After about 2 1/2 hours on Saturday afternoon, everyone got out for lunch except Scout.  He completely refused.  He would accept his quesedilla in the pool, but that was it.  When everyone retired from swimming for the day, he wouldn’t get out then either.  I tried every trick in the book.  I bribed, I got his cousins to try and convince him, I “left” him out there alone (don’t worry….I was just inside the window watching him), etc.  Not a thing worked.  He just jumped off the step, swam around in his shark, sang to himself, pushed the water through the waterfall and talked and talked.  He was totally solo and loving it.  The best was when he would start saying “out…out” and then climb out, and then say “in….in” and climb right back in.  It was like he knew he needed to get out, but the temptation was way too big.  After forever of trying, the thing that finally did the trick……I told him he could take a bubble bath if he got out.  Done!
