Jack Has Konfidence!
I've come across a problem and a solution that I wanted to share. I was in Austin,Texas last week with my family. Little Jack and I were frying in the heat and we wanted to indulge in some of Austin's cool spring fed pools. If you know Austin then you know we headed right for Barton Springs! What a fantastic place. The water is like a giant pool or a small lake that has grassy hills surrounding it. There are shallow areas and deeper ones with diving boards - and tons of kids having the time of their life! So what's the problem? Baby Jack was in limbo. The sun's powerful rays were too strong, yet the the water temperature was very cool! Because it's a natural spring the water was under 70 degrees even though the daily tempertature was going to peak at over 90. Enter , Konfidence a company that manufactures clothing for exactly these situations! They make kids swim suits, hats, you name it.
As you can see in this picture, Jack was prepared! He had on his Konfidence Sun Protection Clothing and Warma Wetsuit. The Sun Protection Clothing is made a light material that blocks out 98% UVPF. I liked how it stretched really nicely right onto his little body. It zips right up the front and kept him safe from the hot Texas rays. To keep him warm in the cool spring water, the Warma Wetsuit Velcroed over his shoulders and between his legs in a second. It fit him in a way that still allowed him to move his tiny arms and legs. Last but not least, there is a hat available from Konfidence (that he ripped off his head) that was perfect... except for the fact that he pulled it off. It's made with the same material as his clothing and has flaps in the back that cover his neck. It does have elastic, however a tie would have made it more difficult for him to pull off. He's one persistent kid who hates hats.
If you're going to take your baby into the water this summer, check out the whole line of Konfidence gear and you'll be confident that your little one is safe and warm.
