No pool? No problem!

Summer is well and truly here – and one of our favourite ways to stay cool is with a trip to the swimming pool.

And while we LOVE going to the local pool, sometimes I really just want to stay at home. Unfortunately, living in a flat means that we don’t have a garden so there’s nowhere for a little paddling pool.

But that hasn’t stopped me from letting Pumpkin have a splash at home.

Here’s what I did:

1. Get an under-bed storage box.
2. Remove the lid and toys.
3. Pour in a few inches of water using the bath tap.
4. Very carefully transport it to the communal area outside.
5. Add toddler

I chose an under-bed storage box because it was convenient – we already had one and I just had to dump out some toys.

Also, it’s heavy-duty enough that I can carry it to and from the bathroom with water in it. And, it’s not so big that if it spills it will destroy our house – or the downstairs neighbours’.

Of course, I also had to do a few things to get Pumpkin ready. First was choosing a swimming costume – both of her grandmothers have sent some super-cute ones and it’s hard to decide on one.

Once that tough choice was made, I got her dressed (with a swim nappy), I also got a towel and gathered up a few water-compatible toys.

She really enjoyed splashing around. It was a great way for her to cool off on a hot day, and it was nice not having to go out. Some of the neighbour girls also came over and played with the water and Pumpkin for a while, too.
