He swims!

Last summer, Owen swam by himself all over the pool.  On Easter, Owen, Connor and Dylan got in the pool even though it was freezing.  He got a little too brave and went too far (without any flotation device) and had to be rescued.  Thanks Michelle!

Since then, each time we've gone to the pool he has refused to go any further than the steps.  We have tried to encourage him and just be patient and it finally paid off.  Sunday he just asked to come in with me, and I said sure and that was that.  A few hours later he wanted his swimmie and off he went.  I don't know if having his buddies (Josh and Sam) there did the trick but it was worth the wait.
