well, that's what i WANT to be... an independent swimmer. today we went to the pool with my friends ellie & kendall. i started out by using the float that i used last summer, but i think it is really for little babies. and i definitely did not want mommy or daddy to hold me. i just wanted to swim all by myself. they kept telling me that this pool is different than the bathtub or my little pool in the driveway... but what do they know??? i did have fun, as long as someone was splashing me around or when i floated on daddy & he sang to me. next time i will have to bring some floaties so i can be more independent!
