I cannot tell you what a milestone this is. FINALLY Michael is swimming! Well, OK, so he has to use the lifejacket but he really can keep himself afloat now. He had two weeks of lessons and is now able to swim the whole pool instead of being relegated to the steps and sunshelves. It's SO nice to have him at that stage. By the end of the summer, the life jacket will be gone and I'll sleep just a *little* bit easier at night, knowing he can swim. =)
