Today Ellie went swimming with her floaties for the first time and it was amazing - she could swim on her own! She had such a great time and enjoyed the freedom from having to hang on to one of us (we enjoyed it, too!). She kept yelling at whichever one of us was out of the pool with Audrey, "Look at me! I'm swimming by myself!".
Lounging poolside afterwards
Comparing these to one of last year's poolside shots, I cannot believe how much she has grown!

Freedom! Was she inspired by Michael Phelps?? Love that summertime Ellie Girl!
I never really thought about the kind of freedom you feel when you go from hanging on to someone in the pool to swimming with just a pair of floaties! How fun!
What a delight to see your two year old just going for it in the water and looking so proud of herself! It makes you wonder about the many ripple effects of an event like the Olympics, doesn't it?
