A guest post from the Eldest of the Children (since I never post anymore):

No Fear.

We’ve been doing some swimming this summer and George loves it! Gooseberry and I have helped George learn about jumping in from the steps, the side, another person etc. Well he is very good at it and doesn’t mind getting his face wet, the problem is that he also doesn’t mind if someone is watching. I don’t know if he just has a sense of trust that either Gooseberry or I will always catch him or if he figures he can always just swim to us. But multiple times now he has gone ahead and jumped in without warning, luckily someone has always been close enough to hurry and grab him.

Here are some pictures:

WARNING: the baby in this clip is wearing no pants due to the fact that he jumped in the water without being dressed in proper swimming attire.
