emmit vs the wave pool

meet the great wave.  this pool is pretty cool.  it has waves.  AND it has a sunroof that lets the UV rays through all year long so you can still suntan in the winter.  too bad we only swam in it at night.  then came emmit.  if you don't know him,  this child is FEARLESS.  not cool.  we played in the still  waters for a little while.  the waves came.  we were STILL playing and wading out into the deep even as the waves grew taller than emmit.  i picked him up and he fussed to be put down.  i did not let go of him as i put him back into the water and he fussed again for me to let him go.  no way.  i'm not doing this anymore.  parenting is supposed to be fun, right?!?  i sat at the water's edge with him and held on as i tried to get him to see how unpredictable the water be.  no avail.  act II:  micah takes emmit out.  after playing for a bit and returning to my field of vision, emmit emerges in a lifejacket.  i laugh thinking micah doesn't want to deal with "it" anymore.  nope.  micah calls back saying that one of the lifeguards made him put it on emmit.
