The beach is just down the street from our house and we have been taking advantage of the nice weather lately and going down there whenever we get a chance. Until yesterday, Sam has been absolutely terrified of the sand and water. She hasn't wanted to put her feet in the sand (wet or dry), much less even walk in it. And the fear that overcame her, followed by extreme hyperventilating, whenever we tried to dip her feet in the edge of the water was tremendous. I made great strides with her yesterday afternoon though and by the time that Daddy got home from work, I had her dressed in her swimsuit and we were ready to try again.

One reason why Sam didn't mind the sand so much was that she had a pail and shovel to play with and a towel to sit on.

I coaxed Sam to take Steve's drink out to him and this little task was enough to get her to walk out into the water -- Major accomplishment!
"Here you go, Daddy ..."
