I swim!



I asked Jackson if he wanted to go swimming today and he said "yeah!!" So, we got ready and headed to the pool in our neighborhood. This was the only picture I could get because I was by myself. But, doesn't he look cute in his swim trunks and swimmies ?! He even tried to kiss up to momma and said I looked cute in my swimsuit. The boy is a charmer!

This was our first trip to the pool this year, so I was going just take it slow and see how he did. We went one or two times last year, but he probably doesn't remember. He was very excited to go swim, but then when we got in the water he was a little more shy about it. We stayed on the top step for about 15 or 20 minutes before he decided to get in. The little girls that live next door were at the pool too and came over to swim next to us. Jackson saw how much fun they were having and started splashing and I could tell he was thinking about getting in. Finally, he just dove in and never looked back! I just held onto the front of his swimmie and he swam like a little fish! He kept saying "fun!!, again!!"and "I swim, I swim!".  After a few minutes he climbed out and jumped in from the side of the pool. He said "again!" and kept jumping in like a big boy! I was so proud of my little water baby! His head went under the water once, but he didn't cry or anything, he just got back out and jumped in again!

I am so proud of Jackson and so happy he likes the water. We will definately be at the pool alot this summer!
