If we learned anything while we were in Florida it was that our kids have a little bit of "fish" in them. Who knew a weeks access to a pool would result in such huge strides in our kids love of the water. Sam has been in lessons since January but probably learned more in our week that he has since starting (and the encouragement of his cousins who have access to a pool in PA helped push him forward too). The first night we arrived we jumped into the pool before bed and both boys hung on tight. The next morning, Sam wanted some space and later that afternoon was swimming around by himself. The day after that he tackled the waterslides - by himself (Cole was obsessed with the waterslide too but dad ensured that there was no way he was going down unattended like his big brother)! Soon Cole followed suit and didn't want anyone to touch him in the pool as he wanted to swim "by himself." We were truly spoiled to have our own pool home and also access to the communities water park as well. It feels like we spent about 75% of our time in the pool but with the high heat and humidity I think it made everyone much happier!
