We just got back from Winsford where we took the kids swimming, it was the first time in months Reagan had been and the first time ever that Lincoln had been. At first we thought it was going to be a disaster when we slid Lincoln into his float and he didn’t look best pleased to say the very least, but some encouragement and he was smiling again kicking his feet and splashing a little himself.
Reagan on the other hand showed no hesitation trotting into the pool in awe of all the water and fearless of any dangers, just let me at it. She was straight in to the water and although could not swim a stroke wanted to be let go of, which of coarse we didn’t but all afternoon she was trying to push us away? It waqs interesting to note that even when we did let her go and she immediately sank, when you grabbed her agian and she coughed the water away she was not phased by it and continued to push us away enjoying every minute
All in all a successful trip but we need to get arm bands and other float aids before we go again because Reagan needs them desperately and maybe a couple of floating toys for Lincoln?
