Toddler Swimming: Water Play at 21 Months

Toddler Swimming: Fun in the Pool (21 months)

Damien playing around in the pool.

We haven't made a ton of progress over the winter but he still loves the water and does pretty good swimming for a short bit.

One newer update? He now kicks his feet and hands better, and actually swims to the surface!

In the video I posted last summer (Damien was 12 months) he swam, but tended to sort of swim down rather than up.

Damien is currently 21 months old

My daughter (3 years) absolutely loves this video, she makes me play it again and again. In fact I’m pretty sure it’s helped her become more comfortable in the water too, watching Damien enjoy himself so much.

Your Answer Defines You
"What can we do with thirty seconds? What can we not do with thirty seconds!... [Suppose] your little child looks out the window and sees a collie. 'What's that?' he asks you. You have five options, which will each take about thirty seconds to make stick:

1. We can tell him, "Look, baby, Mommy has to get dinner."
2. We can tell him, "That's a bow-wow."
3. We can tell him, "That's a dog."
4. We can tell him, "That's a dog called a collie."

The fifth option is to tell him that it is a dog called a collie and then go on to tell him thirty second's worth of information about that animal...

How sad it is that we put information into a computer with great skill and great precision and put information into our children's brains in a hit-or-miss, slip-shod, and often untruthful way."
