The Beach

Today we went to the beach to swim. Alex, despite our walk on the beach earlier in the month when he had a blast in the sand, did not like the beach this time. He was terrified of the water and it took a lot of coaxing to bring him out of his shell. He sat on the beach chair for about 45 minutes before he ventured forth to play in the sand. It was only at the very end of the outing that he let Daddy swing his feet in the water. I'm ok with him not liking the water though. I'm totally ok with that.
