I learned to swim!!!!

Woowooo! Today I swam for the very first time!!! I have been to the beach and to little streams, but I haven't had a chance to go in deep water and swim until today!

This morning mom took me to meet my pals Moose, Bear and Cotton at the river and we all went swimming! It was soo much fun! I didn't know that water could get deep so fast and right away I "fell in" the deep part and went completely under water!!!! OMG! I was so surprised! I quickly scrambled to the shore and stayed close to the shore after that for a little bit, but then I started to get jealous of everyone else swimming out to fetch the floaties that mom and her friends were throwing in the river so Mom got in the river with me and helped me swim! At first I was nervous when I couldn't touch the bottom, but mom held me up until I figured out how to paddle and hold myself up and then I was swimming all by myself! It was so much fun! After that I was a pro...well...almost...I was still a little bit nervous, but if mom or Cotton's mom went in, then I felt safe and I swam around too! It was so much fun! The river is awesome!

Mom said she and Dad are going to go take tubes and ride down the river this weekend--I don't get to go with them this time, but next time I will get to go! That will be fun! Mom did say that we will have weekly playdates at the river on Monday and Friday mornings from now on with Moose, Bear and Cotton! Oh Boy! I am so happy! I love the water! And swimming is FUN!
