Swimming like a champ

Both kids are just loving the water - whether the beach the pool at the athletic club or the neighbors pool - they just can't get enough. The Nugget is such an accomplished swimmer and within the past couple of weeks has really made a lot of progress. She is deep diving (okay, in the shallow end) for rings and dive sticks and has so much fun doing it. She is "bubble-free" and has no problem jumping into the deep end, surfacing and swimming her way to an edge of the pool. She has been doing a good job swimming on her back as well and seeing her swimming like that made me a proud daddy. It's so fun to watch her enjoy the water so much. For the Bomber, he wears his PuddleJumpers bubble and he cruises around the pool, kicking and scooping and smiling away. Whenever you ask him about the pool or the water he replies "jump", which is one of his favorite things to do. He doesn't like going under as much as his sister did at that age but lately when I ask him if he wants me to dunk him under he says "yeah" and then when he comes up out of the water he says "more". We'll get him to be a fish like the Nugget in no time!
