Sunday Swimming

Usually on Sunday evenings, Todd's family comes over for a big family dinner.  It's honestly one of my favorite times of the week (with the exception of clean-up).  I love to see my boys interacting with Todd's parents and my brother-in-law.  This past Sunday we did a cookout, and the boys got to use the pool for the first time this summer.  Logan is fearless around the water, especially since swimming lessons.  It worries me a lot.  Actually, that afternoon Todd was out back running the weed eater and Logan was watching him.  Todd looked up and couldn't see where Logan was, and when he finally found him he was sitting on the edge of the pool with his feet in.  Yikes!  We will be getting a gate for the pool deck very soon.  Anyway, both of my boys really like the water.  On this particular day, we had Logan wear his life jacket in the water for a few reasons.  We wanted to make sure that he didn't fall in while we were all hanging out outside, and I kind of wanted to see how much swimming we could get him to do on his own.  The water was chilly, and he was a little tentative at first, but quickly warmed up.  He ventured from clinging to Troy and Stacey (Todd and I weren't brave enough to go in that day) to swimming with the noodle to swimming alone!  We were super impressed, and he had a blast!
