Hopper Can Swim

Hopper and Hansom have been going to the pool almost everyday this last summer. He used floties all last year, but decided it he had a kick board then he would be alright. So yesterday our pool was closed and a friend, who's kid is 4 and can swim without any help from floties(he got diving rings and a bunch of toys for doing it, motivation for Hopper) asked Hansom if he would like to go to the pool at the school with him. Hansom and Hopper went, the pool is 5 ft. the whole way. I was a bit nerveise for Hopper. He swam from one end of the pool to the other with no help. Hansom told him he could get a good pair of goggles for it. He is so happy to have done it.

It's such a relief when they can finally swim, and such a confidence boost for them! YAY!
