Super Summer: August! (Part 2 of 3)

And August was more of the same...water, water, water. The boys developed more independence in the water as the summer progressed. By August Henry was completely on his own and comfortable in the pool, which was great for all of us. And despite being completely comfortable in the pool, Sammy was not quite ready to be on his own. He would leap, dive and sommersault into any depth, anytime, ready or not. The trick was to be near when he emerged to provide assistance to the side, where he would hoist himself up and leap, dive or sommersault again. By the end of the summer, he could comfortably jump in the deep end and make his way to the side and back out again "all by himself." Phew!
