Swimming

So, Stephen's been taking swimming lessons at the Y, but what it really is is time to go swimming.  Well, last week, Stephen was really quite fussy and we ended up having to leave early.  After some talking with my mother in law and friend Amy who have taught kids to swim, apparently, I need to just let him go swim and let him go under and try to swim by himself.  Well, today I did.  While he can't keep his head above water because he isn't that strong yet, he can kick and move his arms enough to keep about 1-2 inches below the water, which I thought was great.  It really tired him out, so we didn't do it for too long, and it was definitely a new feeling for him, but wow, my kid can swim.  It is kind of unnerving for me, but I think I learned to let go a little.  He can get out of the pool himself and jump in himself too.  Obviously no picture of this because I'm the one in the water with him. :)
