I don't really have anything important to blog about today, mostly I just want to show you some cute pictures from swimming yesterday. Since Sadie's floaty came in the mail, we decided to go down to the pool and try it out. It was a beautiful day to do so (and we should have worn sunscreen)!!Sadie just loves the water so much. I don't know if it's in her genes, or if it has something to do with her disability, or if we just started her early and so it's familiar and comfortable, but she loves it so much. When you watch the video, you'll notice that it's almost like in the water is where she belongs. It's like she's at home there. She can move and kick and she probably feels more free than anywhere else.
We are definitely going to go to the pool a lot this summer!
What about your kids? Do they like water? Is it something you had to teach them to like or did they just like it?
I think it's probably in her genes as well as making it so much easier for her to move. I started my daughter when she was a baby, but she never really liked it. My son loved the water from the time he first had a bath and is a fish, and an excellent swimmer. You can teach someone without the gift to swim and to be safe in the water, but you can't make them love it. If they love it, it's part of who God made them.
