what means the most to me

Hugh is overcoming his fear of water thanks to some hot/humid weather, a swimming pool & a sprinkler. We are taking mommy/toddler swimming lessons at the YMCA and having lots of fun. It has totally helped him loosen up in the water. (he is no longer clinging on and applying the death grip with his legs)
After he is dressed and ready for the day, he usually ends up soaking wet or muddy...but isn't that what summer is all about? We took him swimming to a 'zero entry' pool on saturday and he LOVED the slide. Despite the nervous look on his face, he insisted on going down and down and down the slide...and eventually could land at the bottom on his feet with the occasional dunk. He was loving life and wanted to get back in the minute we got out.
