Little Fish

Joseph can swim!! We were at my parent's again last night. (Hey, free pool. They know how to hook us) With his new swimsuit from Grandma Debbie he got in the water - and with a little persuasion I got him to let go of the death grip he had on me. Then "wa-la!" He was swimming! After that if I touched him he would say "no Mommy I can do it by myself!" I didn't bring my camera :( but my dad did get some pictures. By the time Joseph's ten I should have one to put up here to show you. Joseph is VERY proud of himself and I must say we are very proud of him too. Nehemiah is now going to get a swimsuit like Joseph's so he can swim too. He has one that is similar but when I let go his head can still go under. So... Grandma to the rescue! His new one should be here in a few days. :) I'll remember my camera next time as I'm sure Nehemiah will take to swimming by himself right away. We tried to get one for Hannah but they don't come that small. I've heard that blowing in a baby's face (so they hold their breath) and "tossing them in" will help teach them to swim but um.... no. All it does is make them scream in terror. I'm a horrible Mom for trying, I know. Anyway, I hope you all find some cool ways to relax from the heat this summer. We sure are grateful for Grandma's pool!
