Under Water

I am so amazed with you, little one, the way you fearlessly went under water as soon as you got goggles. This week, you surprised me - with a noodle knotted around your middle - by lying on your back and kicking your way across the pool. And then today, you ducked under over and over, counting, trying to stay under longer and longer. You counted to sixteen. And floated on your tummy. Polliwogs, here you come!
