This past week was a pretty big milestone for our kids. They have started to "swim". We haven't done any classes, but they love the water so much that we try to take them as often as we can. We tried body floats that were built into the swim suits, but that didn't instill much confidence as they would flail around and bounce from side to side. Then, after witnessing the phenomenon that is Lainey Dickerson, swimming by herself with only the aid of arm floaties at the age of 1, we decided to give them a try.
And not soon after the 3rd trip to the pool with these "miracle floats", they were sailing around like mermaids.
I don't think I have ever been as proud of them as I have been the past couple of weeks as they have learned how to "let go" of me and venture off into the water by themselves.
