WATER! WATER! WATER!

"WA-DAH! WA-DAH! WA-DAH!" you would scream with fingers pointing.
"OH WA-DAH! WA-DAH! WA-DAH!" continual screaming until we affirm your discovery of a lake, pond, swimming pool, fountain, or even puddle.

When you were about 22 months, we went back to Hong Kong and discovered your fearless love of swimming. You don't know how to hold your breath or close your eyes underwater but it doesn't stop you from getting right into the pool. You could be shivering from the cold water but if we were to take you out, NO, NO, NO! WATER! along with kicking and screaming resulted.

We took you to Tai Hang Country Club and Victoria Park swimming pools. Daddy threw you into the air and let you sink underwater for a split second. You splashed with your hands and screeched your voice full of excitement. The swimming must have been the highlight of your trip back to Hong Kong.

When we return to the States, we searched everywhere online to look for a pool for you to swim in. Luckily, Amurai's mom recommended Berkeley High School pool because the parent-baby classes, warm pool, and indoor facilities. We even went to Target to purchase a 10ft x 30 inch inflatable pool to put in the backyard for you. After several sessions, you can blow bubbles, splash hands, kick feet, lay on your back, hold onto side rail, and jump off the side of the pool.

Swimming is a very important skill. We are so thrill that you are loving it. We look forward to see you learning and growing in the water.
