Ben swam by himself today!

Finally today it clicked, and he didn't want to hold onto the side of the pool, even when the teacher was trying to work with the other kids! It is a 45 minute class and the parents are only able to watch for the last 10 (we would be too much of a distraction). When I saw him swimming I about fell over!

I'll never forget how great it felt the first time I was able to let go and swim by myself (I was a bit older *around 10*)! What a wonderful thing for you AND for Ben

Oh yeah, that's an understatement. Later when he talked to my mom on the phone the first thing he said was "I was swimming!!"
