swimming

Samantha took a great leap forward today! We went across the street to the community pool, just the two of us and swam for awhile. First she did about 20 jumps off the side of the pool into my arms. I would hold her with one hand on her stomach and she's swim to the stairs. After awhile she got bored of that so we were playing on the steps when I stepped about 2 feet away and told her to kick to me so she tried it and she did it! She wanted to do it again and again and by the end she could swim maybe about 6 feet. She'd go under and kick like mad until she reached me. It was sooo cool to see her so confident and proud of herself!
