The other day Emmett went swimming for the first time!
Previous attempts at putting his feet in the water resulted in a screaming baby, but that's just because the water was too cold, I guess. This time he loved it!
Emboldened by Larissa's advice, we decided to take him to the neighbour's pool to take the plunge. Well, almost. Emmett succeed in submerging up to his neck and getting some pretty fierce kicking action going. We stopped short of actually dunking his head under, even though Larissa said it's totally ok. We didn't try it yet mostly because Emmett's mommy is a chicken... and it was just his first time in the water. We'll work up to it, now that I know the technique.
The moral of the story is that if you have babies, you should totally dunk them in the water.
