Update on Luke & Emy

Luke is doing so great! He has been to the pool three times as of tonight. He is already jumping off of the side and going under and moving around really well with his arm floats! He LOVES to go swimming!! He kicks really well which is good for his little legs. . and he is a little unstable which pitches him under so I am right there with him CONSTANTLY. . but still doing very well for this to be his first swimming week EVER!
Emy is a little fish, almost swimming good enough for the deep end, but not quite yet (with her arm floats she goes everywhere). I am working with her on endurance. She can't quite make it across without taking a few breaths and that makes me nervous in the deep water.
She does GREAT handstands and flips though!! And she is a PRO at diving to the bottom of not so deep water--she loves for me to throw diving toys and she goggles up and swims to find them.
By the end of the summer?? Who knows what all they will be doing!! I will definitely post a video soon of both of them so you can see their watersport talents!!
Later.

Wow -- there's no stopping them, is there? Now you can add "physical therapist" to your parental job description, with all your water therapy for Luke. :o)

Happy you all are enjoying swimming!! It's definately swimming weather. Our pool is finally ready for the summer and we've been in as much as we can the past two days. It will be fun for the kids to get together to swim.... And refreshing for us too!!
Stay Cool!!
