Goodbye Floaties! Hello Confidence!

What a day! After taking a bit of a break from our week of organizing and cleaning (Dave's two-day theory was disproven, by the way), we visited Nanny and GG and went swimming this evening. Will and Molly got brave and started to jump from the diving board using the foam noodles and kick board. One time, the kick board slipped and Will started to swim after it. His arms kept pushing the kick board farther away from him. Before he knew it, he had made his way across the pool. From that point on, he began jumping without any flotation device and swimming around the pool! Go Will! I'm very proud! Molly is fearless and will probably not be far behind. Jack enjoyed the boat for a while but decided he'd much rather be in Mommy's arms enjoying a bottle. What a fun time - it's great having access to a private pool. Thanks Nanny and GG!

"Look Mom! I'm doing it!!!"

"Me too! Me too!"

"Mom, I know I take great pictures. But, I'm a little perplexed. Can you get me out of this thing so I can contemplate the meaning of life over a bottle of warm milk, please?"

"I'm gorgeous. And, my daddy's a photographer. "

"Can I try out for the Olympics now?"
