What a difference a boat makes

From this...




To this...






And a few fleeting happy moments in between.



And we're done...for this year anyway. We'll work on the swim skills this summer, but Greg definitely deserves the gold medal for patience (and maybe a neck massage for all those death grip holds Cole inflicted).

Cole's still afraid he'll sink, but all in all our perseverance week after week was worth it.

That post makes me smile- and laugh a bit:) Swimming will get better- in the meantime you have some REALLY cute pictures (and can taunt him in his teen years with them:) Love it!

The before and after shots are great! Just wait a year, things will be totally different, he won't be able to get enough of the pool,and then the next year, he can revert back to the fear of this year.

Watch--he will become an Olympian swimmer some day. Can't wait for post(s) about new baby!
