We spent the first part of our time swimming with his arm floaties on then he wanted to be like his big brother without, so we went where he could reach and had a blast.
Brandon does a great job swimming underwater, but not quite as good on top, we're still working on that part.
Here is a little bit of Ethan at the pool after we'd been there for 2 1/2 hours. He was exhausted but still didn't want to leave.
Brandon doing some flips underwater.
Ethan says that he he knows karate and kung fu from watching Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle cartoons. We just watched Scooby Doo and the Samurai sword so I guess he has been 'trained' by that as well. Here he is showing off his ninja skills. Notice that he's doing all this kicking and jumping without his braces on, and only falls once. He even squatted down a lot lower than he has in a very long time. After that he lays down to rest ie. playing possum, and I got some good tickling in. I love that laugh.
We went to the pool yesterday afternoon for the first time. Ethan loved it. He would use his arms to walk himself along, then get up for breath and go again. We only got to swim for about 45 minutes then the thunder started and we had to leave. I think he can't wait for the next warm sunny day.

Ethan got a Math Wizard award for learning his doubles up to 10!!! Great job Ethan!

Good thing it was just the skin and not the stink.
