I am totally blown away with just how confident Jordan is getting in the water, it is fantastic to see......
Yesterday afternoon Jordan and I went for a swim and were soon joined by Ba. This was Jordan's 1st swim in Nanny and Ba's pool (he has been in the spa part) and he went from not wanting to get off the step and having his float jacket on to walking on tip-toe by himself in the shallow end of the pool (without his float jacket) which went up to his chin, within a matter of 1/2 an hour or so !
The confidence started to gain when I reminded Jordan how to do monkey, monkey around the pool edge, initally I had to hold onto him but within a matter of minutes he was on his own and showing me how fast he could do it and how he could get around the pool sweepers.
He then got brave enough to turn around on the pool edge and worked out that he could stand on the wall edge and then, well you can see the rest from the photo's

I know I have included a lot of photo's in this entry but I am so amazed at how well and how quickly Jordan got to this stage. The way he was going yesterday he will soon have his head under the water, it really was wonderful to watch.
Above all though, he was really happy and having so much fun doing it all. I am now hoping the weather will stay warm enough this week to have him in the pool every day.
