Jamey has made great strides (strokes?) in learning to swim. I purchased short-sleeved, short-legged wetsuits for all four of us (mid-summer is a great time to get sale prices on that kind of thing). They are not a panacea, but bought Jamey more time to practice before the cold took hold. Arthur's is unfortunately far to large for him. He's swimming in his before he hits the water, if you know what I mean. So despite needing protection from the cold more desperately, he is so far getting less. I mean to rectify that.

I wish I had thought to purchase wet suits 30 years ago.
Don't tell Monya that BeeBoo is swimming in the ocean.
Yippee for kids learning to swim. It is so important, especially when you live near as much water as we all do. Plus, it is such fun!
Monya knows everyone is swimming in the ocean. Big James has already gracefully endured the "riptide" lecture.
Too bad I didn't have a wetsuit for Big Jamey at Lakeridge pool when he was 4, didn't even know such a thing existed in those days.
Laughing, I can just see skinny little Arthur dangling in his suit! Too cute.
