Our Little Fishy

Katie is definately a water baby. She swims a couple times a week at Patti and Doug`s and she had been swimming at the YMCA with me fairly regularly before Liam was born, she loves to be in the pool. A while ago I bought her a pool noodle, we tied it around her and she would motor around the pool on her own. She did so well we started talking about buying her `water wings`, so a couple weeks ago we did. I thought she might be a little nervous but no way. She walked right down the steps and off she went into the pool. She just swims around, races you up and down the pool. After 2 weeks in the wings she decided she could go without anything! She did pretty well but did got tired quickly, so the wings are back on for now!

Soon she`ll be able to go into unparented swim lessons (she hasn`t been in swim lessons since her 1st birthday - I hate the parented lessons - would rather just swim with her myself and think the most important thing at this age is to not be afraid of the water).
