"Do it Branson!"

My guy and I had so much fun this afternoon and sadly, I have no pictures. I am not talented enough to take a one year old swimming at a public pool and also take pictures while keeping my camera safe and dry. I'll get Mom to come with me next time to take some. :) Ok, back to our afternoon. I decided to make good use of our membership at the YMCA and take Branson swimming before my water aerobics class. He was so excited and kept moving his arms up and down in a swimming motion in the car on the way over. We finally got there, put both our suits on, and made it into the water. You have to know that this child doesn't like...no, HATES to get his face wet in the bathtub. He will start crying if the water drips into his eyes. So...I wasn't expecting a lot, but we had been swimming a couple weeks ago and I knew he would like it. Anyway, the words I heard the most today...

"No, Momma! Do it Branson!"

He kept trying to push out of my arms and swim on his own! He is one! HA! (Well, almost two, but Im holding on to my one year old as long as I can.) He loved jumping from the side to me and was convinced that he didnt need me to catch him. He would take a couple steps to one side so I would start moving that way to follow him, and then throw his body the other direction to try to "trick" me. He would come up sputtering and laughing hysterically! So so funny! We laughed so hard and had so much fun enjoying each other. I'll get pictures next time!!
