“I saw him beat the surges under him,
And ride upon their backs; he trod the water,
Whose enmity he flung aside, and breasted
The surge most swoln that met him; his bold head
‘Bove the contentious waves he kept, and oared
Himself with his good arms in lusty stroke
To th’ shore.”  – Tempest

I can’t tell if my son likes the water.  One day he seems to, the next he cries when you try to put him in.  In an effort to enjoy the last few days of summer I took off work early yesterday and we all went to the pool.  On a Tuesday afternoon it was completely uncrowded and we were able to practice blowing bubbles and moving our arms as if we were swimming.  I think he liked it!  Next on the agenda: swim classes with his girlfriend Sarah.
