Paddle, Paddle, Paddle

We’ve been doing some swimming this summer in actual pools rather than lakes. Lakes are fine, but Jameson doesn’t really get a chance to swim. He mostly just plays in the water and the sand at the lake, but no swimming. This is totally different than when I was little. I lived in pools in the summer and we all knew how to swim by his age. I mean, we had to. It was Vegas, and that’s all you can do in the summer is live in the pool.

He surprised me this summer by wanting to swim. I put floaties on him, but he stays pretty vertical. He kicks as hard as he can, but doesn’t really go anywhere. Some friends had a tube for their little girl. Well, when she was out of the pool, Jameson snagged it. Then, he was off. He cruised all around the pool, and loved swimming. In fact, he didn’t want to get out of the pool.

Ella was a great observer of the activities.
