some of you know how much sam HATES getting wet. we've tried going to the splash pad with friends and he just stands to the side. after much discussion and observation, i finally discovered the problem. he doesn't mind getting wet, but he hates the feeling of wet clothes sticking to his body. so i got on the internet and bought him a good old-fashioned speedo. once it arrived in the mail we got out the sprinkler and pool and he had a blast. YEA! problem solved...
