It has taken Jack a while to warm up to the water. He and I are enrolled at the Aqua Shrimp program at the gym. It is basically a Mommy and Me type of swim class where we sing songs about ducks and practice kicking. Most of the time Jack has a death grip on my bathing suit straps - which has lead to a few compromising situations - but he tends to loosen up by the end of class and indulge in some splashing. We got a little plastic pool for the backyard thinking he would enjoy cooling off during the stifling Pennsylvania summer. So far he likes sitting outside of the pool and leaning over the edge to splash in it. Otis, on the other hand, loves the pool and will get in and lay down before we even get it filled with water. Jack of course finds this hilarious just not enough to join in. We have a week of Aqua Shrimps left. I am hoping that he will continue to get more comfortable with the water and maybe even get in the pool.

Wow look at the cool back pack and the cherry picking river boy. Sounds like all is well. Love to see the photos of all. Love to the gang...Gpa (Incidentally, I will heat the pool for Jack at the Cabin...)
