Flotation

I have two little boys that are slowwwly getting the hang of floating on their own (with floaties). Here's how a pool trip usually goes down.

They start out in the little pool where floating's no big deal. The bottom of the pool is readily available any time they decide to stop floating.

Then we graduate to the big pool. When we let go they excitedly/anxiously try to reach us again.

Sometimes if we're evading them too much for their liking, they bob over to the side. They're deft wall sliders.

But after a while, they get comfortable and start really enjoying a float on their own. Such brave boys. (Please ignore the giant bubble woman floating next to the cute child.)
