Make a momma proud!

Water is not my favorite thing. I am somewhat scared of the water. I can swim, but don't push or throw me in. If I fall in, I will freak. I don't tube nor water ski. I admire those that do, and wish that I could, but I just can't get over the fear. From the time I was a teenager, I swore that I would not let my kids be that way. I remember watching my little cousins (J.D. and Bryant) swimming while they were still in diapers and thought that was so cool. So I have been working with Grant in the pool. My sister, Connie, taught me how to teach Grant and I am eternally grateful. This summer Grant has gone from screaming and clinging to me when we get in the pool to paddling all over on his own while only wearing swim wings. Last night he swam with some of his cousins and in his eyes he was just as big as they were. He wasn't the least bit afraid. I have been lightly tossing him up in the air and letting him go under water when he lands. He bobs back up and bats those pretty little eyes and grins. Makes his momma so proud!
