Today we were invited to lunch and swimming at the neighbor's house. We had a lovely lunch and a lovely time. Daniley has been around pools and water and we've tried all kinds of floating devices. Floaties allow her to sink. Life jackets make her throw fits. Boats make her jump overboard. Rings make her go squirmy. Today we tried a floating swimsuit. It provided just enough support that she'd sink if she didn't put forth some effort, but she could swim if she tried. After just a few trips around the pool she got the hang of it and was swimming on her own. This is what we've been waiting for!! You can see just a short swim here but she was swimming all over the pool. Now she knows how to move through the water so all she has to do is learn to float and we're set!! There ain't a scared bone in this child's body so I imagine swimming will come sooner rather than later.
