Eric, Isabella, and I went for an afternoon swim. Everyone had a great time, especially Isabella. She’s learned not to be afraid of the water and is learning to swim. That sounds great but now we need to watch her closer than ever. We’re trying to work with her every day until she can actually swim at least 10′ or so. (maybe 12′ since the pool has a 24′ diameter). That way worse case she’s in the center of the pool and can swim to the edge or float of some kind. I’m one proud Dad watching her paddle of over that pool at 23 months old. By her 3rd birthday she should be able to swim across and back.  The way she is growing taller she’ll be able to touch the ground soon.

I’m very proud of Eric as well. He’s a good teacher and will make a great father, much better than I am. The way a teenage boy treats a 2 year old girl says a lot about his character and what type of man he’ll become! Great Job Eric… I do notice and I’m EXTREMELY PROUD OF YOU SON!!!
