We have brought Dane to the 2 Wheaton public pools several times throughout the past several months but he always spent the entire time sleeping in his car seat while we swam (one at a time, of course, so we could keep an eye on Dane) and tanning / reading. But today, for the first time, Dane joined us in the pool, this time at the indoor pool at our gym. We really weren't sure how he would feel about the pool, but hoped he would enjoy it because he really has been happy playing in his whale tub for bathtime. Anyway, Dane was very happy to go to the pool. It was a bit of sensory overload for him because there was so much to look at, so many people around. We didn't yet put his head underwater but we did let some water go over his face and watched as he held his breath. Drumroll...we might just have a future swimmer on our hands (Insert here Larissa reminding me that Dane can do whatever sports he wants and that football isn't a sissie sport)....

ReplyDeleteVery cute!!
ReplyDeleteWow! I'm impressed with how relaxed, trusting, and comfortable he is in the water! I love how he is gazing at Mark in the last picture and content to lay back in the water in the other! So fun. You look awesome, too, Larissa!
ReplyDeleteAwesome pictures. Dane sure looks comfortable in the water. My cute little great nephew is growing up fast. Please give him a hug from me.
