The ole' swimming hole

The boys love swimming, there's no doubt about it. This is a huge jump from two years ago... even from year ago. They used to be so fussy, whiney, and climb all over you while in the pool. Now once those floaties are on, it is hard to keep up with them. Anthony is a step player mostly. He will swim for a while, but he likes his feet on the bottom and playing. Andrew likes the steps, but spends more time swimming around (stalking toys of others that they don't currently have in their hands). And then there is Austin... he kicks out to the middle, and that is where he stays. He loves to just splash around... splash himself, splash passersby, and us if we get to close. He is a madman out there.

While I like the floaties, and not really having to worry about them... I think it is time we move on to real swimming adventures. That's right, we are going to start working with them sans floaties! They are showing readiness, especially Andrew... who seems to be hindered by the floaties these days, trying desperately to keep his face under while he paddles around. But with all new endeavors I see that my sweet little boys are growing up.

So you heard it hear first. Our next trip will be filled with heroing tales of the underwater adventures of the Towers of Power!
