Swimming

We've been trying to get in as much time at the pool as we can, as we assume the post pool in Kansas will be quite a bit more crowded and less convienent than our neighborhood pool. The kids are swimming like fish! Well, most of the kids. Adeline LOVE the water. She'll float for a while in her little star float, and then want to get out and swim with mom or dad, and finally enjoy playing on the steps (which includes diving under water and being caught by mama.)

Josiah, having had a scare in the pool at the beginning of last summer, thinks hes' being extremely brave by letting his feet float while sitting on the second step. Hey, he's making progress.

Sam insists on holding his nose, but in the last week, is FINALLY not fearful of the deep end and can swim around just fine.

And Ella Rose, well, Jess and I just can't believe it, although she has always been good in the water. It has taken just 3 times at the pool and she is swimming like a fish. She LOVES jumping in, turning flips underwater, and swimming around.
