Pool fun and firsts..

We are blessed.... blessed with family and friends that include us in their lives and share all they have with us. Recently I had the opportunity to take Bryce to my Aunts for a few days and play in the pool and then a dear friend invited us to come swim w/her and her wonderful grandkids. Bryce loves the water and is pretty fearless which delights me but makes me a little sad as we have not had the ability to get him swim lessons. He does awesome with his little body glove floaty top thing (lol) and my mom and I have been working with him the few times we have been in the water on actually swimming vs. his dog paddling.

Day two (2) Bryce was inspired by my girlfriends grandson's to take the floaty top off and try motoring around without it. We went thru a few take it off, put it on sessions each time growing more and more confident, his little face displaying his pride. The older boys were diving down to recover pool toys and Bryce gave it a try but could not figure out how to get down, under the water and to the bottom. Aiden would not give up on Bryce and kept showing him: like this, do it this way, watch me, see this is how you do it, you can do it, try it this way. It was so precious to see little ones help each other and be so patient and not give up on him and then it happened...

So very proud and thankful for such wonderful opportunities!!
