Garrett has proven to be pretty tuff about things some of other children have struggled with. He hardly makes a sound when he falls, doesn't even notice splinters, even likes it when we spray his 'peed-on' self with cold hose water.
But in his first pool-month, he has really taken to the water, and doesn't get all bent out of shape about water in his eyes or floating on small objects, or even jumping in without floats when you're not looking (we had to give him the 'Wait-3-Seconds' lesson so he would taper this habit). Maggie and I are very impressed with his bravado and humor and enjoyment of the pool.
For those of you who pray, please put the "Dear Lord, if You could nudge Garrett over the Potty-Training line, we would appreciate it" prayer in your repertoire.
