Swim buddies

 
Shortly after Bekah learned how to swim, Sarah thought she would like to try as well. We took off her floaties and she learned to swim that day. She was apprehensive at first and we would keep one finger under her tummy as she swam, but pretty soon she saw that we would let go for a few seconds and she could still keep herself up. So that gave her the confidence she needed and she started doing it on her own. She would even jump off the side and swim over to us without help. We just couldn't believe it, but we have been so happy with both of them. We've had to be careful and acknowledge all the kids' progress because it's been kindof like when Rachel was learning how to walk and we got so excited for her that the older kids would want to show us that they could walk to us too.
