shimming
Took the boys swimming tonight at the Y. Reid likes to play in the pool with a life-jacket on; so we played chase a little bit and “walked” (hand over hand along the side of the pool) up and down the pool a little bit. Then we played Humpty Dumpty (humpty-dumpty sat on a wall, one two three!) for a little while, while Beth and Ollie swam — Ollie with no life-jacket. Ollie is able to take a breath while swimming now (sometimes) and is so comfortable in the water that he clearly never loses his cool. They’re turning into excellent little swimmers.
