Yesterday (6/25) we went to playgroup for the first time in months. It was hosted by our friends Maria and Carter. They have a lovely pool in their backyard and the toddlers got to swim. The weather was perfect and the water was warm!
Gavin (and the other kids) pretty much just played on the steps and splashed around a bit. I held Blake while standing in hip deep water. He was sleeping. During Gavin's playtime on the steps he slipped down (3 times) to the last step where I was standing, putting him in water that was deeper than him. The other moms saw him and sort of panicked, but since we have been trained through ISR, I was confident that Gavin knew what to do. And, he did. I let him figure it out for a few seconds and he went straight to his float. I then let him float for a few more seconds and then prompted him to a rollover so he could find the steps himself. Yay Gavin! I was so proud to see it in action and the other moms that saw were pretty impressed. Most importantly, Gavin was proud of himself, he had a huge grin while I was praising him. Thanks ISR!
I am looking forward to swimming with him in Mexico!
