My Little Water Bug

Joshua is certainly my little water bug! A few post ago I mentioned how he was really wanting to venture out in his friend's pool at the pool party and we wouldn't let him. Well over memorial day weekend we went to my mom's and spent most of our time in the pool. Joshua had a blast! This boy loves to go swimming! It was the first question he would ask when he woke up in the morning. He didn't care for the arm wings very much, but he did take to the ring. I was really nervous about him being in the ring, because he gets so excited that I thought he might forget that he had to hang on. Once the ring went over his head and around his waist, he automatically put his hands on the ring to hold on. It must just be an instinct to do that, because it was instant the first time he wore the ring. Of course, he thought he was invincible with this ring. That boy was all over that pool. Thank goodness there were at least 2 adults in the pool with the kiddos. If he wasn't in the ring he was practicing his swimming with us. He would start out using both his arms and legs and then he would start to favor his legs and forget his arms. We would say,"where's your arms?" and he would immediately start using his arms again. He loved kicking his legs as fast as he could to make the biggest splash that he could. He had the best time when he was in the water. I am glad that he loves the water so much. I didn't think that he would remember the swim lessons from last summer, but as soon as he hit the water it all came back and he was good to go. This little water bug is sure to enjoy his summer, since we will probably be in the water ALOT!
