Swimmer Lincoln

So, last summer, Lincoln took swimming lessons for about two days. He didn't like being in the water without someone holding on to him or without a life jacket. I didn't push him in hopes that he would eventually come around. While at my mom's on Spring Break, he decided to give the pool another try (with a life jacket). At first he only wanted to sit on the steps and play in the shallow water. Then I gave him a long swimming noodle to put under his arms to help him swim. He started kicking and off he went!! The we went WITHOUT the noodle and he did even better! As it turned out, he knew exactly how to kick and paddle his arms to get around the pool. I was so proud of him. I think that he was pretty proud of himself!!
