Grant has turned into a fish! We went to the pool twice last week and Grant loves to spend as much time as possible under the water. He is getting to be a pretty good swimmer too - he took 4 private lessons last month and they were worth every penny. He loves to jump in and swim to the side, as well as swim in circles (under water, of course). He tried goggles for a while but they kept slipping off, filling with water, etc. So he swims with his eyes open and doesn't seem to mind. Julia seems to love the water as much as Grant did at her age - I hope that continues! The pool is zero-entry (which means it is a gradual slope into the water), but when I put Julia on the edge, she immediately tries to crawl to deeper waters. Today Blake went to the pool with us so that he could see Grant in action, and I could take a little video. Grant had already been swimming for about 30 minutes when I taped this, so he's a little tired, but you'll get the idea.
I tried and tried to get a picture of Julia but she kept crawling away. This is the best I could get, although I had to steal this shovel from someone :) Don't worry, I left it where I found it.

Way to go Grant! He swims just like Stella. She prefers to swim under the water, too. But just today she started swimming with her head out of the water. It's so cool to watch them learn how to swim, isn't it? :)
Good Job, Grantly! We should all just get the kids together and have a pool party. There are too many water loving kids! It's great.
