Titus swam on his very own, without flotation devices of any sort yesterday, August 19, 2011!!!!! He has come so far this summer with his comfort level in the water and his swimming abilities. I am so glad that I pushed him when he didn't want to get in the lake. We did not do any formal swimming lessons this summer, just lots of time in the lake at Bia's and a little bit of time at Pike Lake. Titus will also run from the seawall, all the way down the pier and jump in without any flotation devices (the lake is low and he can just touch at the end of the pier right now).
Formal swimming resumes Sept 12th at the Y for both kids.
Isabele is continuing to learn with her swimming also. She's very comfortable paddling around with 3 bricks on her bubble (down from 4). She willingly puts her face all the way in and will float on her back with help. She's working on jumping in, but still needs at least 2 fingers to help. She's just starting to be able to jump on dry ground and get both feet off the ground.
Little tid-bits from the daily hum-drum of life ... snippets that would otherwise most likely be forgotten.
