First Swim in the BIG Pool

Today I took James to my Mom's for his first adventure in her above ground pool. All I can say is that he LOVED it!!!! I was so glad that he wasn't scared of it. I was a bit worried that it would all overwhelm him and he would hate it. I should have known better, he is his Mother's Son and I was like a fish when I was growing up. I guess our next step will be getting swim lessons for him so that he will know how to swim. I would rather he know just in case he ever did fall into a body of water than have no clue and have no hope of saving himself. I know he is still little (only 5 3/4 month old) but there is no better time than the present to begin the process. With his mind being like a little sponge soaking up all the knowledge that he can I would like to have this deeply embedded in his brain. There are too many kids you hear that have drowned because they couldn't swim. I don't ever plan on letting him get out of my sight until he is 35, but I know that he will do things when I am not around. I don't want to ever be that Mother on the nightly news crying about her baby boy and why did he have to go into the neighbor's pool. Not me, not this little red hen. I want to equip him with all the skills that I can so none of us are in that situation. Over protective you say? Maybe, but you can't say that I don't love him.

First Blog Entry

Ok so this is my first ever blog entry. Please bare with me as I am new at this and am not terribly computer literate. I guess only time will tell if I will be able to figure all this computer stuff out and get the time to keep up with it. Since I have a 5 month old, he takes up pretty much my entire day. Then where he leaves off the house work takes over, so I don't get too much time to myself. Even though I get aggravated some times I wouldn't trade it for the world.
