Swimming!!

This summer has been super hot. We've spent almost every day making a trip to the pool for a swim. The boys have each improved their swimming. Clifford can swim on his own, does lots of crazy jumps, and loves swimming underwater. He seriously swims great for a four year old. We're super proud of Kristjan's improvement in the water. He started from being too afraid to go in the water, to thinking it was so-so. He was swimming with a (pink) floatie ring. The other day, our friend Sara let us have an old life jacket that her kids outgrew. All day I tried getting Kristjan to put it on but he refused. Finally, I was able to convince him that Sara wanted to see him wear it and would put it on him (Kristjan loves Sara and calls her his "girlfriend"). Sure enough, that worked! Now, he jumps in the pool on his own and swims around all day!!
