Emily and Swimming

Emily's fear of the water has faded and returned over the years. Just when we think it's gone, it returns stronger. One summer she was jumping off the step to mom, the next she was glued again to the step.

Then this happened...

She went with mom to Cary's and wore "floaties." Even still, she glued herself to the step. Or so she thought...

At some point she realized that she had floated away. :)

Seeing that she did not sink, she was no longer afraid. Well at least not afraid to float. Sondra and I are hoping it's a step to swimming and not an addiction. We'll be patient. :)
