It's sunny, can we go swimming?

Every time the Sunshines (which hasn't been often) Dax asks if he can go swimming at least 5 times a day. One day I finally got tired of explaining it to him again, so I decided to show him why. I told him to go get his swimming suit on and then we could go out and I would squirt him with the hose and he would see that it was really too cold. He was super excited!
When we got outside I turned the water on to a trickle and let him play in it for a couple of minutes until he got a little bit cold, then we went in the house to get him warmed up.

However Tyler was working from home that day and he wanted to get in on the action to, so he convinced Dax to go back outside and he had a great time squirting Dax with more than a trickle of water. After Dax was soaking wet and freezing cold we went inside and gave him a nice warm bath, that was deep enough for him to pretend to swim in.

Unfortunately my plan didn't work and he still asks to go swimming all of the time.

Dax is so funny! I'm so sad we aren't there to see him grow up and have uncle Kevin in on his mischief.

Of course he liked it! Now he probably wants to swim even more!
