Water wings are the way to go

Handley has always enjoyed being in the water at the pool or at the lake, but has always been very cautious and not very brave about swimming.  She was happy to be in with someone holding on to her, but trust her life-jacket or other floats.  Earlier this week she gave water wings a try and it was like all of the sudden something clicked.  She finally realized they would help her stay afloat so she could swim all by herself.  Water wings are the way to go.  She is just tickled with herself and her new skill.  I'm so proud of her and she is very proud of herself.  Today she and her friends Addyson and Avery were like little ducks swimming around together.  They literally swam from one side of the pool to the other.  Handley starts swim lessons next week so I'm happy that they seem to be timed just right with her new found love for swimming.  

Here is a video of Handley swimming.  I'm not sure what she is singing or talking about, but she is having fun.

Harper is loving it too and when she see Handley jump in she wants to do it too.  She'll walk to the edge of the pool, squint her eyes closed and wait for me to help her "jump" in.  It's hilarious.
