Abby sliding into the pool

Abby's response to the pool has been a bit variable.  She likes going into the water, but would prefer sitting on the steps to practicing her kicks.  Abby's favorite part of swimming lessons was always the small kids slide that they let the kids slide down into the pool at the end of lessons.  So we decided we should get one to encourage her.  I think it worked:

She did this over and over, at least 10 times in a row, until she started shivering and we had to make her go in the house to change..
