Swimming!

Jake and I went swimming today. It was a pretty good success. I was a little scared since he had a couple of tantrums before we left. He's so independent, that he doesn't want help with anything, he got very very mad when I put his highchair away. He likes to do that himself, I didn't even think about it, and Jake sure let me know it wasn't okay.

Then we got to the pool too early, I didn't realize it didn't open until 10am, and we had about 20 minutes to kill, but that was fine, we just went outside and Jake walked around.

Jake did pretty good. He was wearing his Puddle Jumper for the first time. Jake is still wary and hesitant about the water, but today at least he was happy. He spent the first bit glued to me, but was laughing when I blew bubbles and would let go of one hand to splash the water. After a little bit, he did stand on his own on the step and splash, then he would grab my hands and come to me. He also eventually let me hold his stomach and would kick his feet and splash with his hands.

We are working on bubbles. So far, he does a rasberry out of the water, but then drinks it instead. It's an ongoing process. I'm really pleased how he's improved from the last time. We'll keep going and he'll get better!
