I have finally started a blog, as I have been saying I should do for ages. I am not going to try and recap the past but shall start with the now. Right now things are okay. We have had a bit of a rough year, but things seem to be on the up and up. So as for what's up right now, today I tried to take Rachel to the swimming pool. The first one we tried was closed until the 22nd. So then I decided to try and take her to the Lehi pool. Their policy is that any child 3 and under must wear both a swim diaper and a reusable plastic diaper (both of which they sell for a total of 8 dollars) This is all because of the scare they Utah got last summer when tons of pools got infected with this horrible virus that got many people sick with dangerous diarrhea. They figure one of the causes may have been people not being careful about un-toilet trained children and babies in the pool. I don't think this over vigalance is going to help much. if a child has diarrhea and their parent takes them to the pool, two diapers still isn't going to keep it in. People just need to be responsible. Poor Rachel, she has been potty trained since she was one and a half and they are going to force her to wear a diaper if she wants to go swimming. Long story short we didn't end up swimming today. I was planning to spend about 3.50 not 13-15.00. Rachel was disapointed, but they had a snack stand and she asked for popcorn. So she got popcorn and felt a little less disapointed.
