We spent a lot of time at the pool this summer. It's amazing how big of a difference 4 months can make!
At the beginning of the summer (last week in May) Bergen wasn't even walking as him main mode of transportation yet. He mostly stood next to things and splashed a little, or clung to us as we hung out in the deep end. We could dunk him under the water while he held his breath, and he didn't mind it too much but only wanted to do it 3 or 4 times in a row before he was done with that swimming activity.
Lots of time in the water together, lots of snacks on the pool deck, and 4 months later (last week of September) we get this...
A little boy that is running around the pool, in and out for hours at a time, filling up buckets and dumping them, throwing water bomb balls, and climbing the crab that squirts water out him mouth. How fun! Oh yes, and the holding his breath to go under the water activity...well now he's good after 1 or 2 dunks :) It will be very fun to see how he likes swimming in another 7 months from now.
