From water hoses, water tables &amp; splash pads, he doesn\u2019t let it stop him from being a happy baby and having the best time. Summer time, pool days and beach trips are getting so hard because how are you supposed to tell a 2 1\/2 year old, he can\u2019t get in the water and swim with his siblings. Echo crying to get into the pool or the tub during bath time and having to say no is a hard thing to tell a toddler. It\u2019s a heartbreaking moment. Echo having peritoneal dialysis makes it where he can\u2019t submerge his body into any water, so no baths only quick showers. It will be the most joyful but tear filled day seeing him able to jump right into the pool, ocean and even a bubble bath. We can\u2019t wait for the biggest beach day where we can see his sandy little self running into those beach waves! \ud83e\ude75 \ud83c\udf0a<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" data-id=\"83\" src=\"https:\/\/cota.org\/cotaforechosjourney\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6278\/2024\/06\/IMG_9104-1024x768.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-83\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cota.org\/cotaforechosjourney\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6278\/2024\/06\/IMG_9104-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/cota.org\/cotaforechosjourney\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6278\/2024\/06\/IMG_9104-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/cota.org\/cotaforechosjourney\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6278\/2024\/06\/IMG_9104-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/cota.org\/cotaforechosjourney\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6278\/2024\/06\/IMG_9104-1536x1152.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/cota.org\/cotaforechosjourney\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6278\/2024\/06\/IMG_9104.jpeg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cBeach babe\u201d &#8211; a salty little sweetheart with sandy toes and a sunkissed nose.
