Jack swims "on his own"

Finally, Jack lets go and swims on his own for the first time! We have tried arm floaties and life jackets, but he cannot stand the sensation of floating without being held.


Today, it just took a little peer pressure, and Alli Jean's mastery of the inner tube did the trick. He was so excited, so Mommy got the camera!



Notice how he sorta panics when he experiences a slight splash of water into his mouth.

Oh well... practice makes perfect and the summer is still young!

We had so much fun with Jack at the pool. So glad he could learn a little something from Alli- it's usually the other way around. When Alli is coloring, she says "Look, momma! I stayed in the lines just like Jack does!"
Can't wait to hit the pool with the toobs again!
