Charis and I went swimming with Liam and Sommer today. I put Charis' arm floaties on and then tried to get her to "swim" without holding on to me. She squealed/screamed/laughed several times before she got comfortable without me holding her for the first time ever. It was the first time I could tell that she really wanted to do it on her own but was still a little scared. It was the most amazing sound of independence and I would hold her every time she made the sound. But after a few more minutes, she said "go on Mommy, I can do it by myself.". Those words make me both proud and a little sad. She is growing up so fast. We swam for a little over an hour and a half, with her swimming on her own and jumping in from the side and playing shark.
Then we dried off and had a picnic lunch at the park.

It was a fun morning with friends!
