Bryce decided on Wednesday evening that he wanted his life vest on in the pool. I put it on him, and he proceeded to glide out into the pool off of the ladder. At first he scared himself, but with a little coaching to put his legs down and his arms out, he quickly up righted himself. From there, the rest is history. He loves to swim in the pool with his life jacket on now. He loves the fact that the stroke he does is called the doggie paddle.
A few weeks ago, we couldn't get him INTO the pool; now we can't get him OUT. He is getting quite good very quickly, and 2 days later he can shoot a squirt gun with one hand as he paddles along with the other. This Monday he starts actual swimming lessons, so I am sure that by the end of the summer, even the life jacket will be gone.
I can't believe how quickly my little boy is growing up!!!
