KICK KICK KICK

Richter has become quite the little swimmer. We went to swim lessons in June but he was still content playing around the pool instead of in the pool. A couple of weeks ago we went to a friends pool that starts at 2.5 ft. deep and goes to 5 ft. Richter could walk in the shallow end and that was pretty exciting to him. When he got to the 3 ft. section his little arm floaties just lifted him up and he started kicking around. Well that was all it took. We went to Nana's pool the next day and he got to the bottom step and pushed off like it was something he has always done. Now, he stands on the steps and belly flops into the water. He can turn himself around and swim back to the steps (saying "kick, kick, kick" the whole time) and do it all over again. He also goes backwards. It is so much fun to watch. He likes "goggues" as much as he likes "pee pa pas".






D tried to get him to jump off of the diving board to him last night but he's not quite there yet. I think it will happen by the end of the summer.
