I couldn’t understand some parts of this article ds from the Mothership » Tristan’s big splash, but I guess I just need to check some more resources regarding this, because it sounds interesting.

I’m embarrassed to admit, but I don’t know how to swim. I think this has inspired me to learn. Although this means I have to overcome my fear of water and swimming pools and goggles.

We too have hit milestones with the water this summer. J has gone from being terrified of the pool to swimming with floaties. He jumps off the ladder and swims himself around the pool unassisted. And last weekend he was content to be in the lake without his wings. It was Mommy who insisted they go on. Congratulations on watching your boys grow, next time be sure to remember the camera .

I remember one of my girls (I forget which one?) doing a similar thing with the diving board too and I was shocked. John M. decided last week to float solo with his life jacket on. He was very afraid to do this before, but all of a sudden, he got brave.

It is an amazing thing to watch isn’t it? Abby did very much the same thing. One day she was just swimming and belly flopping and floating and swimming on her back.

WOW. Nathan is still unsure of the water. He will get in and seim with a noodle and such but he willnot jump in or go down the slide and this is in a swimming lesson. SIGH…One day maybe. Miranda was the same timid around water. Although I would be like you just there swallowing the fear for them in my throat while watching them do something for the rist time. YIKES.

I LOVE it when they ‘get’ something new and wanna do it over & over & more & more. So much fun for them, and SO much pride for you. Great news!!
My guys are rather strong swimmers for their age, but they are NEVER in a pool alone. Just in case….
