Benji Can Really Swim!

Benji and I spent almost an hour at the pool yesterday and he just amazes me.  He has never been afraid of water and has absolutely no fear of being underwater, despite the fact that he can almost--but not quite--swim. At least that's what I thought until yesterday. He definitely crossed the tipping point into "being able to swim" and could probably go for about 10 feet by himself.  Other skills he began to learn yesterday:  he did his first bellyflop, his first dive, he swam a little on his back, he floated for a few seconds, and he was able to tread water for about 10 seconds at a time.

I'm so proud of him!  I foresee frequent pool visits in our future.
