J absolutely loves the water. I've had to keep a close eye on her ever since we've allowed her to be in water. Even at bathtime, the girl tries to swim. She puts her face in the water and blows bubbles. She's even been able to encourage M, who tends to fear the water.But no fear for little J. Her favorite thing to is jump off the side into the pool. She can do it again and again and again, over and over and over. Jump in, swim to the steps, get out, jump in, swim to the steps, get out, and so on. She's so funny to watch. Now we don't even catch her when she hits the water. She does it all on her own. She usually bobs twice before she's up for good, but she loves it.
That girl's a hoot. If you ask her to float on her back, she'll lean back and stick her feet out of the water. I have to remind her to get her bottom up so she can lie flat and float on her back. She's so silly in the water.
But what fun it is to have all three girls swimming around with their floaties. Thank goodness for Great Gran and her pool. We wouldn't have survived summer without Great Gran's "Carter cookies" and swimming pool. I have so many memories of spending all summer in that pool. It's fun to now share it with my girls. Thanks Great Gran!
