We have a Swimmer!

If you would have told me that Collin would be swimming by now, I would have thought you were joking.....but he is!!!  Last night, Collin and Daddy jumped in the pool.  Daddy swam under water while Collin watched him.  Then, Collin tried...and did it....himself!  He was kicking and moving his arms.  He swam for at least 8 strokes and made it back to the steps in the pool.  Mimi was there to see it too and was amazed at how much progress he has made in just a few short weeks and without lessons.  After swimming a little, he wanted to dive for stuff that he threw to the bottom of the pool.  He now does this not only on the steps but to the very bottom of the pool.  Daddy does have to push him down so he can get to the bottom but he does not need help after that.

Probably pushing it right now to put him in swim lessons.  Maybe in the Fall when it's not to crazy.
