Graham has been taking swim lessons this summer, and in the last week (since Autumn's visit, at least), he has really made a giant leap in his progress. I think we can officially call him a swimmer. He can swim alone with just swimmies and no help. He experimented with this with Gramma and Papa when they were here two weeks ago, and now he's taken off. He also will now put his face in the water completely, and has taken to floating on his back in the tub as a way of practicing (it also cuts down on the hair-washing conflict!). I am of the distinct impression that Autumn's abilities (which surpass his) had something to do with this. Ah, peer pressure!
We're going camping next week, and I found a place with a pool and a lake, so he should get plenty of practice. I think he's more excited about s'mores but it's hard to tell!
