This has absolutely NOTHING to do with adoption but I just can't help myself. Those of you with children know how important it is to capture those "firsts" as they occur. Well, our 6-month old "son", Winston, went for his first swim this weekend in our friends', Chris and Laura's, new pool...(sorry folks, but you'll just have to put up with us bragging about our "furry" children until we have human ones to brag about :-)). There were a couple of scary moments when Winston first jumped into the deeper water because he quickly sank like a cinder block. I was almost to the point of freaking out when luckily, his instincts kicked in and he was able to bring himself to the surface.
It was just neat to see our little boy progress from being frightened of the water to loving it so much he didn't wanna get out. We finally borrowed their dog's swim vest so we could relax and know he'd stay afloat and not get too tired and drown himself. Yes, our hearts swelled with pride as we watched our boy learn how to swim! He had a blast and we did too!
