In February, Phineas had his first swim. He had been to the pool plenty of times for the bigger kids' swim lessons and was pretty mesmerized by the environment; all those reflections off the water are pretty soothing. We met up with a couple families from church who also have young children (one with a baby girl only a week older than Phineas). The big kids loved having water that was shallow enough that they could touch the bottom (the pool they take their classes at is not). And after Milayla braved the water slide on her own, we ended up splitting off from the others and playing a little family game of crocodile by the water umbrella. I think it was a pretty overstimulating experience for Phinny's first time but he has sure started splashing a lot more in the tub for bath time since his swimming experience. And, of course, the big kids are already asking when we can go to the 'family pool' again so that Phinny can swim with us, too. I'm kind of in love with their sibling bond.
