Well we took Carson up to the pool the other day and he is finally starting to get the hang of swimming. We haven't been able to teach him very much especially when he was younger because every time we would put him in the pool he would get an ear infection. Well we put tubes in his ears back at New Years and his ears have been great ever since. We have to put wax in his ears with tap water, but we were told chlorine water was ok without it. My mom got some floaties for him and the first time I tried to put them on him a month ago he freaked out and didn't want anything to do with them. We joined Stonegate this year and when we took him up there the other day he voluntarily gave me the floaties to put on his arms. **I think he saw some other kids with them on and that made him feel better about them.** My dad had been teaching him how to dig and kick a couple of nights before, so when we got in the big pool with the floaties this time he was ready to go. My Mother-in-Law got in with him and let him push off her legs to a ladder, while Pa showed him how to keep his chin up and pucker his lips so he didn't swallow any water. He did so good and I can't believe he didn't freak out while in the water unattached to a human being. Here are some pictures from this memorable day.....
